Derek Jarman's Sketchbooks
“Jarman . . . filled an impressive number of sketchbooks with exquisite calligraphy, drawings, clippings of scenes and costumes, photographs of his gardens and detailed notations for dialogue and editing, many faithfully reproduced here.” (The New York Times Book Review)“[An] exquisitely curated book. . . .Voluptuous works of art in themselves, these sketchbooks, taken from handmade books the filmmaker gave to the British Film Institute before his death in 1994, blend the written and the visual, revealing the inner workings of the creative process and Jarman’s evolution as a filmmaker, artist, and gardener.” (Publishers Weekly)“Derek Jarman’s Sketchbooks has poetry, pressed flowers, paintings, photos and script fragments from the late . . . cinema pioneer.” (Film Maker)“Beautifully put together. . . . Gorgeously realized, the volume demonstrates that Jarman was indeed a visual artist, calligrapher, and poet. . . .  Recommended.” (Choice)
