The Geneva Window - Through a Glass Darkly
Ardal O’Hanlon explores the mystery of the Geneva Window: a masterpiece of Irish art commissioned by the Irish Free State but ultimately rejected, abandoned and hidden away for fear of scandalising the nation. Almost a century ago, the artist Harry Clarke created a vision of the newly-independent State that didn’t sit comfortably - his Geneva Window was so provocative & divisive, it was either “the loveliest thing ever made by an Irishman”, or portrayed a “bizarre, almost viciously evil people steeped in sex and drunkenness and sin”.
