Kenneth Clark Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Na książkę złożył się zapis cyklu programów telewizyjnych emitowanych wiosną 1969 roku. [...] Wypowiedziałem w nim na głos rzeczy, których nie powiedziałbym w innych okolicznościach. [...] Czym jest cywilizacja? Nie wiem. Nie jestem w stanie jej określić za pomocą pojęć ogólnych. Ale chyba umiem rozpoznać jej przejawy. Mam je przed oczami. Jak pisał Ruskin: Wielkie narody spisują autobiografie w trzech rękopisach: w księdze czynów, w księdze słów i w księdze sztuki. Nie zrozumiemy żadnej z nich, dopóki nie przeczytamy dwóch pozostałych, ale spośród nich tylko ta ostatnia jest godna zaufania.

A dictionary of themes common to western art -- especially those arising from classical and Christian sources -- primarily from the Renaissance onward. Included are persons (and personifications), objects (especially attributes), and common events (e.g., The Raising of Lazarus). Special attention is paid to the interpretation of symbols in art. There is a list of sources at the beginning of the dictionary and an index at the end, but no illustrations. [Review, Oberlin Art Library Staff, BQP 6/16/2005]

In this comprehensive guide to pottery Kenneth Clark explains with the help of practical and informative text together with step-by-step illustrations and examples of finished work the various aspects of pottery. These include techniques of wedge making, pinching, coiling, slab building, throwing, joining, moulding and turning. In addition Clark gives full details on techniques of decoration, tools and equipment, kilns and firing, glazes, pigments and stains finishing with a full glossary. He also suggests ways in which potters can extend their techniques of production to meet the needs of changing markets and conditions, whilst trying to keep a balance between the work of the artist innovator and the production potter or ceramicist.

In this richly illustrated book, Lord Clark traces the changes in the western ideal of feminine beauty from Egyptian art of the second millennium BC down to the movie screens of the present day.
