Synopsis

HARRY CLARKE (1889-1931) was a leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts movement and is best known for his stained glass designs and book illustrations. This collection concentrates on his work for various published books. His psychedelic with a hint of the grotesque black and white line work incorporated the most detailed and intricate textures. His distinctive style established him as one of the leading illustrators of the early 20th century. His first published work was ‘Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen. A number of commissions followed including among others ‘The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault’, Goethe’s ‘Faust’ and probably his best known work for Poe's ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’. This superb compilation features over 120 examples of Clarke's colour paintings and black and white pen work, mostly full page. A comprehensive collection that is certain to delight lovers of the great artists from the 'Golden Age' of illustration.
