Harry Clarke was born in 1889 on North Frederick St., Dublin and is one of Irelands greatest and most neglected artists. He created a stunning and often bizarre world in stained glass and book illustration. The work is a heady mix of the beautiful and the grotesque, the ethereal and the demonic, the romantic and the obscene.
His tragic story represents a fascinating collision of Church, State and Art and one mans battle for freedom of expression. The Geneva Window was commissioned by the Irish Government to represent Ireland at the United Nations in Geneva until state censorship reared its ugly head. |
