HARRY CLARKE An Imaginative Genius in Illustration and Stained-Glass Arts

Packed with unusual and some never before collected pieces, a perfect introduction or a companion to previous Harry Clarke collections. Born in Dublin in 1889, he studied stained-glass until he moved to London in 1913 to work as a book illustrator. His first printed work was 40 illustrations for Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. His next was Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination which made him famous. Despite his short life (only 42 years), he left an expansive legacy of illustration and stained-glass artwork. As the one-and-only comprehensive collection of Harry Clarke's complete works, this book showcases them with beautiful printing and detailed bilingual explanations. It is a must-have book, to be treasured by fans of The Golden Age of Illustration, and illustration students alike. It includes a great deal of his printed work, including rare magazine appearances. But also here is one of the best-ever collections of his rarely seen stained glass work, which carries his fantasies of angels and demons and the bizarre to new levels. Out Of Print. Condition: Very Fine/As New.
