BioI am the writer/director of 'HARRY CLARKE - Darkness in Light', an award-winning documentary on the life and work of Harry Clarke produced by Camel Productions (Dublin, Ireland)
"Illuminating" - SUNDAY TIMES
"Documentarian John J Doherty examines the life of Clarke 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 spectacular and poetically told, Darkness in Light is a fitting showcase of Clarke's unique and haunting vision." - BOSTON IRISH FILM FESTIVAL
"Best Documentary Award" - FANTASY WORLWIDE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL TORONTO
"Harry Clarke (1889-1931), Irish stained- glass artist and illustrator, brought the beautiful and the bizarre to his work, be it church windows or illustrations for A Midsummer Night's Dream. This very complete documentary traces the influences on Clarke's work and on his life, e.g., the sea and Celtic design and the windows of Chartres Cathedral. Images from film, Russian ballet, and French art and literature moved Clarke to create dark and sensual works that bring to mind Hieronymus Bosch and Aubrey Beardsley. The Geneva Window, produced late in his short life, displayed all of these connections and brought down on him the wrath of the conservative Irish state. This excellent account of a fascinating artistic genius is recommended for Irish and large art collections. The sexual imagery might make this inappropriate for some high school classes." - Ernest Jaeger, Library Journal (USA)"Illuminating" - SUNDAY TIMES
