More about the book

Kenneth Clark's life is marked by his commitment to making art accessible to everyone, despite his elitist background. As the youngest director of the National Gallery, he safeguarded its treasures during WWII and uplifted Londoners through concerts. His influential series, Civilisation, communicated a message of humanism through Western art history during the Cold War. James Stourton's biography explores Clark's complex character and his belief in art's capacity to combat chaos, presenting him as a pivotal figure in the democratization of culture.
