Harry Clarke and Artistic Visions of the New Irish State - Tapa blanda
Críticas
[This] new book reclaims Clarke as a modern artist. It sets him at the heart of the nascent Irish Free State, negotiating the secular and the sacred at a time when the twin powers of state and church collided and colluded ... 'Ethereal and beautiful and, in its wit and contemporaneity, strangely compassionate', his art reflects an Irish society 'much more cosmopolitan, sophisticated and aesthetically aware than has normally been acknowledged. --The Guardian
'This beautifully designed and illustrated collection of essays helps one to begin to understand rather than simply be beguiled by such startling excess.' --Apollo Magazine
'Harry Clarke and Artistic Visions of the Irish Free State proves the case for the pre-eminence of Clarke among Irish artists. His work can be read in a variety of ways - as modernist, late Victorian, political, even apolitical, but whichever way one argues about interpretations it is hard to question his achievements ... This book will help to ensure that Clarke finally gets the recognition he deserves and we should all be grateful.' --Dublin Review of Books
Reseña del editor
Harry Clarke is an Irish artist of international acclaim. This beautifully designed and fully illustrated book reveals how Clarke responded to his commissions and to his public, analysing works produced at the height of his career in the context of the quest for a cohesive identity by the new Irish state. It examines the complex relationship between visual art and literature that lies at the heart of Clarke’s contribution to Irish post-independence culture, and highlights themes such as patronage, public reception, propaganda, and memory, to place Clarke within a larger political and cultural context. Essential reading for art lovers and scholars alike, Harry Clarke and Artistic Visions of the New Irish State will appeal to anyone interested in the arts of Ireland, and the history and development of early to mid-20th century visual and material culture.
