Antique print - Sinister Art Nouveau Faust Illustration 1935 Harry Clarke
An scarce image of one of Harry Clarke's superb illustrations from Goethe's Faust - the classic tale in which the demon Mephistopheles tempts Faust from scientific, humanitarian and religious learning, with knowledge of magic and draws him into making a pact with the devil.
Irish illustrator, Harry Clarke (1889-1931), together with Rackham, Neilsen and Dulac, was one of the finest illustrators of his time. As with Aubrey Beardsley, with whom he is often compared, some of Clarke's finest work was in black and white. A vivid and often macabre imagination informs his work, and his illustrations from Faust are superb.

A wonderful image of Mephistopheles gripping a severed head in each, talon-like hand. An intricately designed and sinister image from the master of macabre, Harry Clarke.

Mounted on a stunning jet black mount with a slight sheen.

Very Good
Please Note: There is very faint shadowing from the text/pictures on the reverse of the print. This is hardly noticeable and does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
