Bibliography: Incluye referencias bibliográficas (p. 274-299) e índice.Summary: "Creator of the extraordinarily popular television series Civilization, Lord Kenneth Clark was one of the greatest philosophers of art in this century. In this remarkably candid biography, Meryle Secrest explores the glitteringly successful career of a man who became director of Britain's National Gallery at the age of thirty, and who was friend and patron to the finest artist of his day. Born into a wealthy family, Lord Clark lived at the peak of British society for most of his life, yet did more than any individual in our time to educate the public about the meaning and value of art. His private life, however, was overshadowed by great sorrow (which is never alluded to in his autobiography)." (cubierta posterior)
