Gorgeous masterpieces of stained glass by Brian Clarke, the
medium's leading exponent today Over the past five decades, British
artist Brian Clarke (born 1953) has consistently pushed the
boundaries of stained glass as a medium, both in terms of
technology and visual vocabulary. With major installation projects
all over the world to his name, Clarke has contributed significant
artistic and technical breakthroughs to this thousand-year-old
medium. His facility with the medium displays his appreciation of
the long history of stained-glass, from gothic decoration to the
turn-of-the-century innovations of Tiffany glass. The Art of Light
is a testament to Clarke's belief that stained glass has an
authority and potential to deal with every human condition. This
book contains 250 illustrations that present the depth and range of
Clarke's work, with an introduction by architect and sometime
collaborator Norman Foster, and an essay by the director of the
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Paul Greenhalgh.
