  • Harry Clarke — Darkness In Light

    Directed by John J. Doherty.
    Ireland, 2002, digital video, color, 52 min.

Harry Clarke is today regarded as one of Ireland’s greatest artists, a master craftsman whose stained glass windows and book illustrations created a beautifully baroque and sensuous universe of religious and fairy-tale motifs. Documentarian John J. Doherty examines Clarke’s life 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 rich and poetically told, Darkness in Light is a fitting showcase for Clarke’s unique and haunting vision.

Influenced by the stained glass designs of Harry Clarke, this beautifully animated short tells the Arthurian tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
