520 _aThe definitive biography of this brilliant polymath - director of the National Gallery, author, patron of the arts, social lion, and singular pioneer of televisiĆ³n - that also tells the story of the arts in the twentieth century through his astonishing life. Drawing on a vast, previously unseen archive, James Stourton reveals the formidable intellect and the private man behind the figure who effortlessly dominated the art world for more than half a century: his privileged upbringing, his interest in art history beginning at Oxford, his remarkable early successes. A superb work of biography, Kenneth Clark is a revelation of its remarkable subject.
