Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was undoubtedly Ireland’s greatest stained-glass artist.Internationally, his name is synonymous with quality craftsmanship and imaginative genius.The use of rich colours, the delicate depiction of beautiful elongated figures with their fine-carved features and deep expressive eyes, is magical to behold.During his short life Clarke created more than 160 stained-glass windows, which can be found in churches, cathedrals, galleries, and private collections throughout the world.This book documents, for the first time, the entire stained-glass collection of Harry Clarke.Never before has every piece been brought together in one volume.Strangest Genius presents Clarke’s brilliance and originality afresh to a twenty-first-century audience.
