Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jarman's first journal - preceding Modern Nature - is his candid coming-of-age memoir about being an art student, making his first films, and coming out in Britain in the 60s and 70s'What started as a book on the frustration of funding led to the writing of an autobiography at forty. I had so little to do in the daylight hours, I stayed up late unbuttoning Levis in back rooms.'In 1984 at the age of 40, the polymath film-maker Derek Jarman began to write his journals. In the first of these diaries, Dancing Ledge, we see his origins as a young artist, written with Jarman's distinctive immediacy, curiosity, and candour. Behind-the-scenes of his first controversial films and stage designs, at glamorous launch parties with friends like David Hockney, Ossie Clarke and Patrick Proktor, to the trials of securing funding, Dancing Ledge is a coming-of-age memoir for all fledgling artists.Dancing Ledge also chronicles a unique time in British history, capturing gay nightlife from the end of the war to the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. In non-linear snippets and including photographs of Jarman's artwork, he describes his sexual awakening in post-war England, his early struggles to create and find recognition for his art, and vivid accounts of his friends, lovers, and inspirations.
