Son of the renowned stained glass artist Harry Clarke and painter
Margaret Clarke (née Crilly), David Clarke studied art under
Mainie Jellett. In the accompanying essay to his 1969 exhibition,
Thomas Kinsella wrote : "This new exhibition shows him confidently
at work with vital material, achieving his purpose consistently
with precision and richness
Colour is at times the essence
of his achievement, as in the harvest field paintings with those
golden yellow bales of hay
