Autorenporträt
Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was the greatest of all Irish stained glass artists, as well as a brilliant painter and book illustrator, comparable with Aubrey Beardsley, Edmund Dulac and Kay Nielsen, and influenced by the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. His illustration work included The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope, Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, Fairy Tales by Charles Perrault, Faust by Goethe and Selected Poems of Algernon Charles Swinburne - but his illustrations for Poe remain his dark masterpieces.
