The only film of the life and work of Harry Clarke is available here:

Title – Harry Clarke – Darkness in Light
Writer/Director – John J Doherty
“Documentarian John J Doherty examines the life of Clarke and the controversial nature of his work, culminating in his clash with the conservative Irish Free State over his ‘offensive’ masterpiece, the Geneva Window’. Visually spectacular and poetically told, Darkness in Light is a fitting showcase of Clarke’s unique and haunting vision.” Boston Irish Film Festival

clarke deserves a book exclusively on his illustrations .the new book
on his stain glass is spectacular with the most advanced photography employed . this method could also show his illustrations to best effect as some of these examples demonstrate so well

I had a book with some of these images years ago. It has sadly been lost since so this is a great find as I never knew who the artist was. To see it all like this is really what the internet should be used for…oh and cat memes of course.

Massive thanks for this. This is eye candy for me on epic levels.

Incredible work! I didn’t recognize the artist’s name, but the work seems rather familiar to me. Makes me wanna’ dig up some Gustav Klimt or Yoshitaka Amano.

These are gorgeous. I hope a new printing of both the Poe and the Faust book are done sometime soon. Much more lovely the Beardsley IMHO.

god, i love harry clarke; finding that image of morella above, when i was a poe-obsessed kid, probably had the biggest impact on defining my sense of aesthetics for the rest o' my life afterward. i found an old copy of his illustrated Faust a few years ago in a dusty bookstore, in great condition & for a disgustingly cheap price, but regrettably gave it away to an ex. some of his stuff(faust included) gets really far-out weird, and then gets further out - with mutated chthonic organ systems and ambiguous genitalia blooming in the background. i like that some of that stuff shows up in the stained glass that churches commissioned him to make too. this has always been a favorite, and i've always assumed was a rendition of The Mothers scene from faust II.
