Описание: http://www.harryclarke.net/glass/dvd.... - Documentary Film: A Revel In Blue: The Life and Work of Harry Clarke

Harry Clarke (1889-1931) created spectacular stained-glass windows for churches and private patrons in Ireland, England, the United States and Australia. Born in Dublin in 1889, Clarke developed a unique style and technique in stained glass that combined deep rich colours with beautiful, elongated figures that exuded poise and grace. His deep blues and ruby reds became the hallmark of his work.

Filmed in Europe, the United States and Australia using enhanced special effects and copious interviews, this documentary captures the life and work of Harry Clarke in all its uniqueness and colour. Many of Clarke's stained-glass windows are featured, including those in the Honan Chapel in Cork; the Life of Christ windows at Díseart, Co. Kerry; the Life of Mary windows in Sussex, England; the nine Angel windows at Bayonne, New jersey, USA; The Eve of St. Agnes at Dublin City Gallery and The Geneva Window at the Wolfsonian, Florida, USA. A section on Clarke's illustrations for Harrap & Co. is also included. The film is narrated by Rory Mullen (Hunger, Anton). Film length: 60 minutes.
