Harry Clarke was an exemplary illustrator and stained-glass designer and maker, whose work in the 1920s-30s continues to build his legacy. Examples can still be found across Ireland and the UK, America and Australia. Anyone enjoying a brew in Bewley’s Tea Rooms on Grafton Street (Dublin, Ireland) will be aware of his talents. Despite a short life and a fragile material, Clarke’s secular and faith-based windows offer a permanence and ways into stories still needing to be told.
Gerry Molumby (The Irish Post) leads this hour-long illustrated talk, presented in partnership with The Institute of Irish Studies at University of Liverpool.
