Harry Clarke primarily worked in an Arts and Crafts style aesthetically similar to the Glasgow School, incorporating elements of Art Nouveau; his illustrations also show his love for stained glass window design. His often surreal compositions presage the psychedelic motifs of the 1960s, while also evoking the stark black-and-whites of Aubrey Beardsley.
