"Chroma" is a meditation on color diversity by the celebrated British filmmaker and artist Derek Jarmen (1942-1994). In this book, written in 1993, a year before his death, Jarmen, who was losing his sight, uses all the resources of writing in an attempt to convey a complex and elusive aspect of a subject about which he had accumulated a lifetime's experience. In his characteristic style-a lyrical blend of classical theory, anecdotalism, and poetry-Jarmen guides the reader through the color spectrum, presenting each color as an embodiment of emotion, evoking memories and dreams. He explains the use of color in the visual arts, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the Modernists, addresses the great color theorists from Pliny the Elder to Leonardo, and writes about the significance of color in literature, science, philosophy, psychology, religion, and alchemy.
