Sunday Times Art Book of the Year The astonishing life of Kenneth Clark - the greatest British art historian of his time. As writer and presenter of the TV series Civilisation he was responsible for the greatest syntheses of art, music, literature and thought ever made - 'a contribution to civilisation itself'.
WINNER OF THE CATHOLIC HERALD BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR
'Richly detailed, colourful and astute and it moves at a cracking pace ... a resplendent biography' Sunday Times

'Stourton has written a matchless biography. His evocation of his subtle, cool and brilliant subject gives an inspiring and even heroic sense of Clark...The book is a joyous read, with a dashing, stylish pace that disguises formidable but unpretentious erudition', Richard Davenport-Hines, The Oldie
'Stourton ... has done this brilliantly, not only exploring [Clark's] gifts as author, lecturer, film-maker and champion of British art but also as public figure ... this assiduous and accomplished biography will bring about a second Great Clark Boom' Spectator
'Astutely analyses Clark's emotional and intellectual contradictions' Observer
'Delightfully readable and authoritative' Economist

'A lithe, elegant, astute celebration', Richard Davenport-Hines, New Statesman
'An elegant and perceptive portrayal of the ultimate arts grandee', Michael Prodger, New Statesman
'Outstanding ... Stourton's great achievement is to make a unity of Clark's career ... this exemplary biography combines Clark's strengths of clarity and concision with the quality he so painfully lacked, warmth' Country Life
