- Documentary Film: A Revel In Blue: The Life and Work of Harry Clarke
Harry Clarke (1889-1931) created spectacular stained-glass windows for churches and private patrons in Ireland, England, the United States and Australia. Born in Dublin in 1889, Clarke developed a unique style and technique in stained glass that combined deep rich colours with beautiful, elongated figures that exuded poise and grace. His deep blues and ruby reds became the hallmark of his work.

Clarke Harry 哈利·克拉克 (1889-1931) Art Nouveau Irish
tonykwk39@gmail.com
哈利·克拉克（1889年3月17日－1931年，出生於都柏林）是二十世紀著名的花窗玻璃藝術家及插畫家。克拉克最初從事彩繪玻璃工作，後來才到倫敦尋求插畫的工作。他第一份插畫工作是替安徒生童話故事繪製插畫，之後分別為愛倫·坡及哥德等人的作品提供插畫。彩繪玻璃工作方面，他的其中一件作品「聖派翠克受洗」曾經在巴黎羅浮宮中展出。克拉克41歲時於瑞士死於肺結核。
Harry Clarke 哈利·克拉克 (17 March 1889 – 6 January 1931) was an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator. Born in Dublin, he was a leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement.
Henry Patrick (Harry) Clarke was born 17 March 1889, younger son and third child of Joshua Clarke and Brigid Clarke (née MacGonigal).[1] Church decorator Joshua Clarke moved to Dublin from Leeds in 1877 and started a decorating business Joshua Clarke & Sons, which later incorporated a stained glass division. Through his work with his father, Clarke was exposed to many schools of art but Art Nouveau in particular.
Clarke was educated at the Model School in Marlborough Street, Dublin and Belvedere College, which he left in 1905. He was devastated by the death of his mother in 1903, when he was only 14 years old. Clarke was then apprenticed into his father's studio, and attended evening classes in the Metropolitan College of Art and Design. His The Consecration of St Mel, Bishop of Longford, by St Patrick won the gold medal for stained glass work in the 1910 Board of Education National Competition.
At the art school in Dublin, Clarke met fellow artist and teacher Margaret Crilley. They married on 31 October 1914 and moved into a flat at 33 North Frederick Street. They had three children, Michael, David and Ann.
Clarke moved to London to seek work as a book illustrator. Picked up by London publisher Harrap,[3] he started with two commissions which were never completed: Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (much of his work on which was destroyed during the 1916 Easter Rising) and an illustrated edition of Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock.[4]
Difficulties with these projects made Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen his first printed work, in 1916. It included 16 colour plates and more than 24 halftone illustrations. This was followed by an illustrations for an edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination: the first version of that title was restricted to halftone illustrations, while a second with eight colour plates and more than 24 halftone images was published in 1923.[4] This 1923 edition made his reputation as a book illustrator, during the golden age of gift-book illustration in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Clarke's work can be compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley, Kay Nielsen, and Edmund Dulac.
It was followed by editions of The Years at the Spring, with 12 colour plates and more than 14 monotone images; (Lettice D'O. Walters, ed., 1920), Charles Perrault's Fairy Tales of Perrault, and Goethe's Faust, with eight colour plates and more than 70 halftone and duotone images (New York: Hartsdale House,1925). The last of these is his most famous work, prefiguring the disturbing imagery of 1960s psychedelia.[4] Two of his most sought-after titles are promotional booklets for Jameson Irish Whiskey: A History of a Great House (1924, and subsequent reprints) and Elixir of Life (1925), which was written by Geofrey Warren. His final book, Selected Poems of Algernon Charles Swinburne, was published in 1928.
Clarke also continued to work in stained glass, producing more than 130 windows, he and his brother Walter having taken over his father's studio after his death in 1921. His glass is distinguished by the finesse of its drawing and his use of rich colours, and an innovative integration of the window leading as part of the overall design, originally inspired by an early visit to see the stained glass of the Cathedral of Chartres. He was especially fond of deep blues. Clarke's use of heavy lines in his black-and-white book illustrations echoes his glass techniques.
Clarke's stained glass work includes many religious windows, but also much secular stained glass. Highlights of the former include the windows of the Honan Chapel in University College Cork; of the latter, a window illustrating John Keats' The Eve of St. Agnes (now in the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery in Dublin) and the Geneva Window, (now in the Wolfsonian Museum, Miami, Florida, USA). Perhaps his most seen works were the windows he made for Bewley's Café on Dublin's Grafton Street.
Both Harry and his brother Walter were plagued with ill health, in particular problems with their lungs. Clarke was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1929, and went to a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland.[1] Fearing that he would die abroad, he began his journey back to Dublin in 1931, but died on this journey on 6 January 1931 in Chur where he is buried.

Harry Clarke - RTE's Nationwide - Part 1 - www.harryclarke.net
Copyright RTE 13th Dec 2010 - Harry Clarke (1889 to 1931) was undoubtedly Ireland's greatest stained glass artist. Internationally the name of Harry Clarke is synonymous with quality craftsmanship and imaginative genius in his stained glass work. His use of deep rich colours, his delicate depiction of beautiful elongated figures with their finely carved features and deep expressive eyes, is indeed magical to behold. During his short life Harry created over 160 stained glass windows for religious and commercial commissions throughout Ireland and England, and as far a field as the USA and Australia. Also an illustrator of books for Harrap and Co. in London, Harry illustrated books that show his undoubted genius in the area of graphic art. harryclarke.net

Diarmaid Ferriter on Arthur Griffith = Newstalk 106-108 FM Part 1
Arthur Griffith Art Ó Gríobhtha (1871-1922)
Born at 61 Upper Dominick Street on 31 March 1871 into a family of Welsh descent, Arthur Griffith was educated by the Christian Brothers before working as a printer like his father who worked for The Nation newspaper. As a young man he joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Gaelic League. After the split in the Irish Parliamentary Party, the failure of the Home Rule campaign and the death of Charles Stuart Parnell, a hero for the young Griffith, he went to live in South Africa for a time while recovering from TB where he sympathetized and identified with the Boer cause and supported Paul Kruger.
Griffith returned to Ireland in 1899 and together with William Rooney (d. 1901) formed the United Irishman newspaper. Inspired by the rhetoric of 19th century Irish nationalist John Mitchel, Griffith was a fierce opponent of the IPP alliance with the Liberal Party. He also supported independence movements in Egypt and India and was an outspoken opponent of British imperialism as well as socialism (his attitudes did not stop him co-operating with James Connolly). In 1900 he and Maud Gonne, the muse of poet W.B. Yeats and wife of John McBride, organised opposition to the visit of Queen Victoria to Ireland and in 1903 opposed the visit of King Edward VII. In 1900 he also formed the Cumann na nGaedheal (Society of Gaels) which aimed to unite the various Irish nationalist separatist movements. During the Boer War, Griffith supported the Boers and opposed British Army recruitment while John McBride and others formed an Irish Brigade to fight against the British.
Later Griffith like many others in Irish society in 1904 defended an ugly anti-Jewish pogram in Limerick however years later his anti-semitic opinions changed and he became a close friend of many prominent Irish Jews. Griffith also shared the period's social conservativism and tight laced sexual morality. In 1907 he denounced the John Milington Synge's The Playboy Of The Western World as a vile and inhuman story told in the foulest language we have ever listened to from a public platform and for its protrayl of Irish women as a drift of females standing in their shifts.
The tenets of the Sinn Féin policy were outlined in Griffith's highly influential work The Resurrection of Hungary which proposed a dual monarchy for Britain and Ireland with separate governments for both kingdoms in the style of Hungary which had secured a similar autonomy within the Austran Empire. Griffith claimed the Act of Union of 1800 which created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was illegal and that the Irish Parliament founded by Henry Grattan in 1782 should be restored and that Irish parliamentarians should abstain from Westminister. When the Sinn Féin Party was formed in 1905 its first leader was Edward Martyn, a wealthy cultural activist and playwright who was descended from Jacobite Irish Catholic gentry. The party merged with other nationalist organisations and quickly became infiltrated by hardline IRB members who sought to turn it into an openly republican party. It struggled to gain support in competition with the broader IPP but succeeded in electing a number of councillors including W. T. Cosgrave in Dublin. Matters were not helped by Griffith's opposition to strikers led by Jim Larkin and support for the employers during the 1913 Dublin Lockout.
Griffith and most other Irish nationalists passionately supported the drive for Home Rule in the 1910s that led to the passage of the Home Rule in 1914 which was nonetheless suspended by the British government after the commencement of World War I 1914-1918. The Irish Volunteers enjoyed the support of the broad Irish nationalist spectrum who had been gearing up to what looked like an inevitable confrontation with the Ulster Volunteer Force, the British military and British Conservatives who sought to usurp the democratic will of the majority of the Irish people which was behind Home Rule. When John Redmond and his IPP and the majority of the membership endorsed Irish participation in the war, the movement split and a hardline republican clique around Thomas Clarke, Thomas McDonagh and Patrick Pearse planned what became the Easter Rising in 1916.
Griffith and Sinn Féin had little or nothing to with the rebellion except that some members had participated such as W. T. Cosgrave and the rising became erronously known as the Sinn Féin rebellion. After the release of rebel prisoners by late 1916 and eqarly 1917, the membership of the party exploded and the IRB took over control of organisation sidelining the dual monarchists and transforming it into an openly republican party under the new leadership of Eamon De Valera. Griffith who had resigned the leadership and his supporters sidelined by the republican newcomers had threatened to split the party in 1917. Nonetheless the popularity of Sinn F
