Talk:Harry Clarke

message: It is wrong to link the 2 commissions with Harraps. The Ancient Mariner was for the Talbot Press in Dublin, and the Rape of the Lock was a private commission from his first patron Laurence Waldron. It is also wrong to refer to his drawings as halftone - there is no halftone screen involved. These are printed from line blocks (I own the Hans Andersen line blocks)Labocetta (talk) 22:00, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I was wondering, does anyone know if the illustrations of Harry Clarke (especially his work for Edgar Allan Poe) were an inspiration for Tim Burton?  I know Burton is best known as a filmmaker, but if you look at his sketches -- such as those of Jack Skellington -- they bear an uncanny resemblance to Clarke's style.

message: In the early twentieth century in Dublin, Ireland, Harry Clarke (1889 to 1931) created stained glass windows and panels that are noted for their spectacular colours and the brilliance of the characters created through the medium of glass. Clarke achieved his shimmering colours by applying aciding and platting to flashed glass. His genius as a colourist was matched by his extraordinary artistic ability. He was also an illustrator of books for the London publishers, Harrap & Co., including 'the Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen' (1916) and Poe's 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination' (1919). The exquisite panels that Harry Clarke created were often based on scenes from literature. The nine Queens' panels he created for his patron, Laurence Waldron, were hailed as artistic masterpieces. During his short life, Harry created approximately 160 windows for churches and private establishments in Ireland, England, the United States and Australia. Some of his most brilliant work includes 'The Eve of St. Agnes', at the Hugh Lane, Dublin City Gallery, and 'The Geneva Window', now at the Wolfsonian in Miami, Florida, USA.
I removed this from the Stained glass page where it was far too much about a single artist. Some of it might be incorporated here.

message: Just wondering if the list is overly long, or could be compressed in some way? It makes the article rather cumbersome, does anyone have a suggestion for improving the look/flow of the list? I'm planning on working on the biographical part of article and would like to improve the over all readability of it, if anyone is out there! Smirkybec (talk) 19:50, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of leaded glass windows (by Harry Clarke) 

message: Both Harry Clarke's [baptismal https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/fd91180211170] and [birth https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/8385e72004046] certificates state that he was born on 18 March 1889. Yet the article, referring to the Dictionary of Irish Biography, gives his DOB as 17 March 1889. Surely the primary sources are correct.--Damac (talk) 15:12, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

message: I did not see the Convent of the Presentation Sisters listed in this table. The convent is now the Diseart Centre for Irish Spirituality and Culture.

According to their webpage, the Sisters commissioned Harry Clarke in 1922 to make the windows. 
This convent is located on Green Street in Dingle.  Mmele310 (talk) 08:48, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
