The definitive biography of Clarke and a critical survey of his oeuvre—out of print for more than 15 years, now with new images and additional materialStained glass, symbolism, decadence, Celtic mysticism, National Romanticism, Art Nouveau, and the Ballets Russes—all these elements claim a place in the definition of the art of Harry Clarke (1887-1931), the Dublin artist now recognized internationally as a bizarre genius of his age. As an Irish Symbolist, his work is analogous with that of his friends W.B. Yeats and George Russell (AE), as well as the early James Joyce. AE rightly prophesized the fascination his work would hold for future generations of collectors. Whether in stained glass or in book illustration, his all too rare work has, over the past two decades, become increasingly sought after. This book provides a chronological and contextual framework of study for his ceaseless and varied output—in Dublin, London, the Aran Islands, Glasgow, Paris, and finally America. In Clarke, a fundamentally Arts and Crafts ideology is fused with a Celtic Revivalist spirit seeking expression in a modern idiom during a key period in Ireland's history.

Willie Doherty

Willie Doherty works in photography, video and sound, reflecting back a world shaped by television, film and real and imagined collective memory--by the nightly news, movie fantasies and advertising. He balances on the narrow threshold between the documentary and the staged, questioning his chosen media's inherent claims to truth. His pieces, many of which reflect on life in his native Northern Ireland, have appeared at Paris's Centre Georges Pompidou, the Liverpool Tate Gallery and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Doherty, born in Derry in 1959, was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994 and 2003, and represented Ireland at the 1993 and 2007 Venice Biennales. Willie Doherty documents the entirety of his film and video work, now in one place for the first time.
