Kenneth Clark
Kenneth McKenzie Clark, Baron Clark OM CH KCB FBA (13 July 1903 – 21 May 1983) was a British author, museum director, broadcaster, and one of the best-known art historians and aesthetes of his generation, writing a series of books that appealed to a wide public while remaining a serious scholar. In 1969, he achieved international fame as the writer, producer and presenter of the BBC Television series Civilisation, which pioneered television documentary series combining expert personalized narration with lavish photography on location.
Biography
Early years
Clark was born in London, the only child of Kenneth MacKenzie Clark and Margaret Alice McArthur. The Clarks were a wealthy Scottish family with roots in the textile trade (the "Clark" in Coats & Clark threading). His great-great-grandfather had invented the cotton spool. Kenneth Clark the elder, reputedly "the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo," had retired in 1909 at the age of 41 to become a member of the 'idle rich' (so described by Kenneth Clark in his autobiography, and W. D. Rubinstein in The Biographical Dictionary of Life Peers).

Kenneth Clark (ceramicist)
Kenneth Inman Carr Clark MBE (31 July 1922 – 10 June 2012) was a New Zealand-born British ceramicist, best known for his decorative tiles.
Early life and family
Born in Wellington, New Zealand, on 31 July 1922, Clark was the son of Aubrey Sherman Clark, a farms inspector, and his wife, Annie Barbara Louisa Clark (née Inman). Through his mother, Clark was a great-grandson of William Inman, founder of passenger shipping company, the Inman Line. On his father's side, he was related to the 18th-century English architect, John Carr.
Clark spent most of his childhood in Nelson and was educated at Nelson College from 1937 to 1941, where he won several prizes for drawing. In World War II, he initially enlisted in the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force, but subsequently transferred to the Royal Navy. He was present during the Normandy landings, and was mentioned in dispatches.
Ceramics
After the end of the war, Clark remained in Britain and took up an ex-serviceman's scholarship at London's Slade School of Art, where his teachers included Stanley Spencer. He continued his studies at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, being taught by Dora Billington, Clark went on to teach there himself for 25 years, as well as at Goldsmiths' College.

Kenneth and Mamie Clark
Kenneth Bancroft Clark (July 14, 1914 – May 1, 2005) and Mamie Phipps Clark (April 18, 1917 – August 11, 1983) were African-American psychologists who as a married team conducted important research among children and were active in the Civil Rights Movement. They founded the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem and the organization Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited (HARYOU). Kenneth Clark also was an educator and professor at City College of New York, and first black president of the American Psychological Association.
They were known for their 1940s experiments using dolls to study children's attitudes about race. The Clarks testified as expert witnesses in Briggs v. Elliott, one of the cases rolled into Brown vs. Board of Education (1954). The Clarks' work contributed to the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in which it determined that de jure racial segregation in public education was unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote in the Brown vs. Board opinion, "To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone".

Famous quotes by Kenneth Clark:
"Children who are treated as if they are uneducable almost invariably become uneducable"
"We can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs."
"Opera, next to Gothic architecture, is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process."
"No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even if it be only the faintest shadow - and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals"
"People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilization; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater."
"A visual experience is vitalizing. Whereas to write great poetry, to draw continuously on one's inner life, is not merely exhausting, it is to keep alight a consuming fire."
"The great achievement of the Catholic Church lay in harmonizing, civilizing the deepest impulses of ordinary, ignorant people."
"To hurry through the rise and fall of a fine, full sentence is like defying the role of time in human life."
"All great civilizations, in their early stages, are based on success in war"
"Ruthless, greedy, tyrannical, disreputable they have had one principle worth all the rest, the principle of delight!"
"A lot of people you think you know you don't know until you find out you don't know then it may be too late to know."
"All great civilizations, in their early stages, are based on success in war."

Ken Clarke gets his revenge on Boris Johnson as the MP labels him 'disingenuous'
The Former Conservative MP called Boris ‘disingenuous’ and told him to stop playing games over Brexit. The veteran MP had been sacked from the Tory Conservative party along with 20 of his colleagues after they sided with the opposition in an attempt to block a No Deal Brexit on October 31. Mr Clarke wasted no time and told Boris exactly what he thought about him. “I do think the Prime Minister, with the greatest respect, has a tremendous skill in keeping a straight face whilst he is being so disingenuous.” His remarks prompted applause from opposition MPs but Boris remained unimpressed. The PM’s bold rallying cry to go to the polls was rejected by MPs who claimed he was setting them a ‘trap’. Only 298 MPs opted for an election - far short of the two thirds of MPs (434) he needed ...

The final moments of the final episode of Civilisation by Kenneth Clark
This ending sequence of the 13th episode of Civilisation is profoundly moving: It is lovely to hear Kenneth Clark's views on various subjects such as culture, history and courtesy. It is moving to watch his wistful sign-off where you don't even realise he has said his last words. (And so entirely 'English' and understated to finish with the words "...not exactly joyful at the prospect") Who can not be moved when he slowly walks out of the room - and then when he gently touches the Henry Moore sculpture before exiting the frame completely... "History is ourselves" Wonderful. (Copyright to the BBC)

Douglas Murray hits out at Mary Beard and the BBC over ‘Civilisation’ warning
Author Douglas Murray has hit out at Dame Mary Beard and the BBC for their warnings about Kenneth Clark’s iconic ‘Civilisation’ documentary series. Originally broadcast in 1969, the series observes the rise of Western civilisation and drew a large audience when it first aired. The BBC is broadcasting the series for the first time in over a decade, however, it has been given a warning note for reflecting the “standards and attitudes” of its time. The BBC also released a video where Mary Beard critiqued the series, calling it a “European story” told by Mr Clark. “As I pointed out in The Telegraph, such an un-insightful and such a banal accusation itself,” Mr Murry told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Of course, somebody from Britain or Europe is likely, first of all, to look at the worl...

Civilisation—in full, Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark—is a 1969 British television documentary series written and presented by the art historian Kenneth Clark.
The thirteen programmes in the series outline the history of Western art, architecture and philosophy since the Dark Ages. The series was produced by the BBC and aired from February to May 1969 on BBC2. Then, and in later transmissions in Britain, the US and other countries it reached an unprecedented number of viewers for an art series. Clark's book of the same title, based on the series, was published in 1969. Its production standards were generally praised and set the pattern for subsequent television documentary series. The New Yorker magazine described it as revelatory for the general viewer.
1. The Skin of Our Teeth: In this first episode Clark—travelling from Byzantine Ravenna to the Celtic Hebrides, from the Norway of the Vikings to Charlemagne's chapel at Aachen—tells the story of the Dark Ages, the six centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire, and “how European thought and art were saved by 'the skin of our teeth'”.

Author Douglas Murray has hit out at Dame Mary Beard and the BBC for their warnings about Kenneth Clark’s iconic ‘Civilisation’ documentary series.
Originally broadcast in 1969, the series observes the rise of Western civilisation and drew a large audience when it first aired.
The BBC is broadcasting the series for the first time in over a decade, however, it has been given a warning note for reflecting the “standards and attitudes” of its time.
The BBC also released a video where Mary Beard critiqued the series, calling it a “European story” told by Mr Clark.
“As I pointed out in The Telegraph, such an un-insightful and such a banal accusation itself,” Mr Murry told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“Of course, somebody from Britain or Europe is likely, first of all, to look at the world through the eyes that they have.
“I mean it would be very strange if Kenneth Clarke had done a series called Civilisation which was centred on looking at Chinese culture through the eyes of a Korean.”

Civilisation—in full, Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark—is a 1969 British television documentary series written and presented by the art historian Kenneth Clark.
The thirteen programmes in the series outline the history of Western art, architecture and philosophy since the Dark Ages. The series was produced by the BBC and aired from February to May 1969 on BBC2. Then, and in later transmissions in Britain, the US and other countries it reached an unprecedented number of viewers for an art series. Clark's book of the same title, based on the series, was published in 1969. Its production standards were generally praised and set the pattern for subsequent television documentary series. The New Yorker magazine described it as revelatory for the general viewer.
1. The Skin of Our Teeth: In this first episode Clark—travelling from Byzantine Ravenna to the Celtic Hebrides, from the Norway of the Vikings to Charlemagne's chapel at Aachen—tells the story of the Dark Ages, the six centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire, and “how European thought and art were saved by 'the skin of our teeth'”.
Sections:
Expressions of an Ideal
The Fall of Rome
Skellig Michael
Iona
The Norsemen
The Baptistry at Poitiers
Charlemagne
The Cross of Lothar
2. The Great Thaw: Clark tells of the sudden reawakening of European civilisation in the 12th century. He traces it from its first manifestations in Cluny Abbey to the Basilica of St Denis and finally to its high point, the building of Chartres Cathedral in the early 13th century.
The Triumph of the Church
the Abbeys of Cluny and Moissac
St Bernard of Clairvaux
St Foy
The Abbey of Vézelay
Gislebertus
The Abbey of St Denis
Abbot Suger
Chartres
3. Romance and Reality: Beginning at a castle in the Loire and then travelling through the hills of Tuscany and Umbria to the cathedral baptistry at Pisa, Clark examines the aspirations and achievements of the later Middle Ages in 14th century France and Italy.
The Gothic Spirit
Courtly Love
The Siege of the Castle of Love
The Duke of Berry
St Francis of Assisi
Civic Life
Giotto
Dante and Pisano
4. Man: the Measure of all Things: Visiting Florence, Clark argues that European thought gained a new impetus from its rediscovery of its classical past in the 15th century. He visits the palaces at Urbino and Mantua and other centres of (Renaissance) civilisation.
Early Renaissance
Leonardo Bruni
David (Donatello)
Perspective
Leon Battista Alberti
Jan van Eyck
Botticelli
The Palace of Urbino
The Court of Mantua
A Civilised Countryside
5. The Hero as Artist: Here Clark takes the viewer back to 16th century Papal Rome—noting the convergence of Christianity and antiquity. He discusses Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci; the courtyards of the Vatican; the rooms decorated for the Pope by Raphael; and the Sistine Chapel.
Giants and Heroes
The Decadence of the Popes
Michelangelo
Bound Captives
The Sistine Chapel
Raphael
Leonardo da Vinci
Man as a Mechanism

The Former Conservative MP called Boris ‘disingenuous’ and told him to stop playing games over Brexit.
The veteran MP had been sacked from the Tory Conservative party along with 20 of his colleagues after they sided with the opposition in an attempt to block a No Deal Brexit on October 31.
Mr Clarke wasted no time and told Boris exactly what he thought about him.
“I do think the Prime Minister, with the greatest respect, has a tremendous skill in keeping a straight face whilst he is being so disingenuous.”
His remarks prompted applause from opposition MPs but Boris remained unimpressed.
The PM’s bold rallying cry to go to the polls was rejected by MPs who claimed he was setting them a ‘trap’.
Only 298 MPs opted for an election - far short of the two thirds of MPs (434) he needed to get it through.

This ending sequence of the 13th episode of Civilisation is profoundly moving: It is lovely to hear Kenneth Clark's views on various subjects such as culture, history and courtesy. It is moving to watch his wistful sign-off where you don't even realise he has said his last words. (And so entirely 'English' and understated to finish with the words "...not exactly joyful at the prospect")
Who can not be moved when he slowly walks out of the room - and then when he gently touches the Henry Moore sculpture before exiting the frame completely...
"History is ourselves"
Wonderful.

Author Douglas Murray has hit out at Dame Mary Beard and the BBC for their warnings about Kenneth Clark’s iconic ‘Civilisation’ documentary series.
Originally broadcast in 1969, the series observes the rise of Western civilisation and drew a large audience when it first aired.
The BBC is broadcasting the series for the first time in over a decade, however, it has been given a warning note for reflecting the “standards and attitudes” of its time.
The BBC also released a video where Mary Beard critiqued the series, calling it a “European story” told by Mr Clark.
“As I pointed out in The Telegraph, such an un-insightful and such a banal accusation itself,” Mr Murry told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“Of course, somebody from Britain or Europe is likely, first of all, to look at the world through the eyes that they have.
“I mean it would be very strange if Kenneth Clarke had done a series called Civilisation which was centred on looking at Chinese culture through the eyes of a Korean.”

Kenneth Clark
Kenneth McKenzie Clark, Baron Clark OM CH KCB FBA (13 July 1903 – 21 May 1983) was a British author, museum director, broadcaster, and one of the best-known art historians and aesthetes of his generation, writing a series of books that appealed to a wide public while remaining a serious scholar. In 1969, he achieved international fame as the writer, producer and presenter of the BBC Television series Civilisation, which pioneered television documentary series combining expert personalized narration with lavish photography on location.
Biography
Early years
Clark was born in London, the only child of Kenneth MacKenzie Clark and Margaret Alice McArthur. The Clarks were a wealthy Scottish family with roots in the textile trade (the "Clark" in Coats & Clark threading). His great-great-grandfather had invented the cotton spool. Kenneth Clark the elder, reputedly "the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo," had retired in 1909 at the age of 41 to become a member of the 'idle rich' (so described by Kenneth Clark in his autobiography, and W. D. Rubinstein in The Biographical Dictionary of Life Peers).
