Piper & Clarke – Stained Glass: Art or Anti-Art
Piper & Clarke – Stained Glass: Art or Anti-Art is the catalogue of a joint exhibition of John Piper and Brian Clarke’s work at the Verey Gallery, and Eton College Chapel and Schools, in Eton. Clarke exhibited paintings, stained glass and leadworks alongside the full-size cartoons and watercolours produced for windows made by artists Piper and Patrick Reyntiens for Eton College Chapel, following the Second World War. Reproducing a selection of these works, this catalogue includes contributions from Eton College’s then-Provost, William Walgrave, and Librarian, House Master and English Master, Michael Meredith, as well as art historians Martin Harrison and David Fraser Jenkins. Titled after Piper’s generative book Stained Glass: Art or Anti Art (1968), this catalogue built on a collaboration between Piper and Clarke that had begun in 1978 with the historical stained glass exhibition, Glass/Light.
