About this Event
St Canice’s Cathedral is home to stained-glass windows by both Alfred E. Child and Harry Clarke Studios. Between these makers, however, looms the ghostly figure of Harry Clarke (1889-1931) himself, who had been taught by Child and whose stained-glass business operated long after his early death. He was also a celebrated book illustrator, and his work animates and enriches the writings of Hans Christian Andersen and Edgar Allan Poe as well as Ireland’s Memorial Records, 1914-1918. In this talk, Dr Michael Waldron (Curator of Collections & Special Projects at Crawford Art Gallery, Cork) explores the creative force of Clarke’s often dark and daring imagination in his pursuit of a new ethereal and carnal language.
