Decoration in Faust - Harry Clarke Art Print
About the Wall Art
Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.
Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.
Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.
Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.
Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.
Giclée Printing

Forget 4 color CMYK. Giclée layers up to 12 — alive with deeper shadows, richer highlights and multidimensional contrasts. Pro-lab printing process helps art stay bold & breathtaking for up to 100 years. And the neo-pigment, water-based inks are 100% non-hazardous and toxin-free.
About the Artwork
This Decoration in Faust by Goethe sets a soot black nimbus behind a skull, its rim toothed with tiny saw cuts. Ink weeps from one socket. The jaw has gone to stipple and loose teeth. Clarke took that needle line from Aubrey Beardsley and hardened it at the glass bench, where every figure wears a seam of lead.
Eyes open all over the robe. One sits at the breastbone inside a burst of wavy rays. Goethe wrote Mephistopheles the sharpest lines in the play, and this Art Nouveau pen and ink illustration supplies the audience.
Two stalks climb from the cloak toward the corners of the bone white page, each tipped with a ringed bead. Scrollwork boils along the base where a floor should be, Walpurgis Night smoke in monochrome penwork.
Golden Age illustration seldom turned this macabre. This vintage Symbolist wall art suits the spot above a writing desk. Sign nothing beneath it. Hang this gothic memento mori art print where a holy picture belongs. The halo passes for a saint’s from across the room.
