Kenneth Clark - From the Drawing category:

Kenneth Clark - From the Energy category:

Kenneth Clark - From the Humanity category:
We can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs. (Kenneth Clark)

Kenneth Clark - From the Portraiture category:
You have no idea what portrait painters suffer from the vanity of their sitters. (Kenneth Clark)
Kenneth Clark - From the Symbols category:
The history of art cannot be properly understood without some reference to the history of science. In both we are studying the symbols by which man affirms his mental scheme, and these symbols, be they pictorial or mathematical, a fable or formula, will reflect the same changes. (Kenneth Clark)
Kenneth Clark - From the Thought category:
I wonder if a single thought that has helped forward the human spirit has ever been conceived or written down in an enormous room: except, perhaps, in the reading room of the British Museum. (Kenneth Clark)
