 Harry Clarke Biography
Most of us know Clarke's work from his drawings which are all too often and all too unfairly compared to Beardsley, but it was as a stained glass designer and artisan that he devoted the most of his too-short life.
Clarke saw this exhibition while he was traveling in Paris on scholarship, studying the stained glass of the great cathedrals.
Clarke brought with him the stained glass techniques that he was so familiar with and the majority of the Poe images rely on white lines and patterns picked out of a fl background.

 Harry Clarke
Clarke may be described as Ireland’s major Symbolist artist, whose synthesis of literary, musical, poetic and imagined visual images draws on a wide range of eclectic, sometimes obscure sources to produce an entirely original and idiosyncratic vision.
Clarke’s antithetical, fundamentally medieval predilection for both the sublimely beautiful and macabrely grotesque (sometimes in the same context) is often most marked in his book illustrations, where his love of detail can be examined more closely than in many of his windows (e.g.
Clarke was at his best when his complex imagination, nurtured by his avid reading and interest in a wide range of past and contemporary European art and literature, was free to draw upon a rich vocabulary of images to depict the strange creatures of a singularly original and uncompromising spirit.

 Kenneth Clarke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clarke was defeated for the presidency of the Cambridge Union Society by Howard, although he was subsequently elected President of the Union a year later.
Clarke's lack of involvement in front bench politics since 1997 meant that, unlike his leadership rivals, he was not associated with the policies and electoral failures of the Tory party under the leaderships of William Hague, Iain Duncan Smith and Michael Howard.
Clarke's position in the Wembley crowd was right behind the linesman at the time, and he shouted at the official to award a goal.

Major appointed Clarke secretary for education in his cabinet, and in his two years in the job Clarke initiated important reforms, empowering individual local schools at the expense of the local education authorities, often bastions of the "looney left," and strengthening educational standards.

 Harry Clarke. Irish Symbolist Harry Clarke. Analysis of Femininity in work of Harry Clarke.
Harry Clarke was recognised for his artistic genius and achieved great success during his own lifetime, yet he often gets pigeonholed into various modes of artistic expression.
Clarke however, was not merely a symbolist, a revivalist, an illustrator, or a stained glass artist; he was all of these but also much more complex and interesting than it may at first seem.
Clarke was working artistically at a time of great social and political upheaval in regards to the changing role of women, not only in Ireland, but also, in a broader sense, Europe.

A couple of years ago I bought a Harry Clarke pencil sketch, a very loose one, of a boy on a broomstick.
I love Harry Clarke's art, and loved the finished drawing (it's from a book called The Year in the Spring) and even if the sketch didn't look like much, it made me happy.
I'd have the Clarke sketch put into a new frame, along with a small image of the finished piece of art, so people would at least know what the sketch was a study for.

 George Bush, Lying, & the Dogs of War by Harry Browne
The moment Clarke went public with statements that Bush was determined to blame 9-11 on Iraq, and that Bush was much more eager to attack Iraq than attack Al-Qaeda, the administration redirected the dogs of war from Hussein to Clarke.
For example, Clarke supposedly said in 2002 that the Bush administration "changed the strategy from one of rollback with Al Qaeda over the course of five years, which it had been, to a new strategy that called for the rapid elimination of Al Qaeda." But that doesn't mean the strategy did change.
And the dogs of war are unleashed on anyone who threatens to expose those lies and seems to have the public forum in which to do so.
