Appointed at the age of 30, he was the youngest ever Director of the National Gallery, London, from 1934 to 1945, before becoming Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford & later Chairman of the Arts Council. He was made a life peer in 1969 & died in 1983. Originally published in 1938 when Kenneth Clark was director of the National Gallery, London, this book presents Clark’s favourite details from paintings in the museum’s collection.
