No voice has exercised so much power and influence over the arts in Britain as Clark's. A formidable aesthete, his coterie included John Betjeman, Winston Churchill, Margot Fonteyn, E.M. Forster, Vivien Leigh, the Queen Mother and Henry Moore. Hidden from view, however, was his wife Jane's alcoholism and his own philandering. In James Stourton's dazzling biography, Clark is shown as a man who conveyed the profound beauty and importance of art, architecture and civilisation for generations to come. 517 $aKenneth Clark 676 $a709.2 700 $aStourton$b James$01223610 702 $aDavies$b Jot$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148865803321 996 $aKenneth Clark$92890347 997 $aUNINA
