James Ward

The Belfast-born artist who made colour theory into art — and taught Harry Clarke how to see.

James Ward (1851–1924) was one of Ireland's most influential artists and educators — a leading theorist of colour harmony and decorative design who bridged fine art and applied modernism at a formative moment in Irish cultural history. His ideas directly shaped the generation of artists who created the Irish Arts and Crafts movement. Precise, considered, and ahead of his time.
