Michael Derek Elworthy Jarman[1] (31
January 1942 – 19 February 1994) was an English film director, stage
designer, diarist, artist, gardener and author. The work of Broadway's gay and
lesbian artistic community went on display in 2007 when the Leslie/Lohman Gay
Art Foundation Gallery presents "StageStruck: The Magic of Theatre Design." The
exhibit was conceived to highlight the achievements of gay and lesbian designers
who work in conjunction with fellow gay and lesbian playwrights, directors,
choreographers and composers. Original sketches, props, set pieces and models —
some from private collections — represent the work of over 60 designers,
including Derek Jarman.
Jarman was born at the Royal Victoria Nursing Home in Northwood, Middlesex, England.
the son of Elizabeth Evelyn (''née'' Puttock)[2] and
Lancelot Elworthy Jarman. His father was a military
officer, born in New Zealand. He boarded at Canford School in Dorset,
and from 1960 studied at King's College London. This was followed by four
years at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London (UCL),
starting in 1963. He had a studio at Butler's Wharf, London, in the 1970s.
Jarman was outspoken about homosexuality, his public fight for gay
rights, and his personal struggle with AIDS.
