First A TV Series Second It Is A Book CIVILIZATION
Kenneth Clark’s CIVILIZATION shows a TV inspired book from the BBC project. The 13 color films on West European art tied to civilization philosophy and engineering form the basis for 286 illustrations and themes around great men. Clark’s unbalanced focus enlivens the narrative though some major figures receive brief treatment. Clark notes print loses music but gains savored thoughts and images, and his wide cultural knowledge makes the book an intellectual pleasure.
