Kenneth Clark Quotes About Values

• The nude gains its enduring value from the fact that it reconciles several contrary states. It takes the most sensual and immediately interesting object, the human body, and puts it out of reach of time and desire; it takes the most purely rational concept of which mankind is capable, mathematical order, and makes it a delight to the senses; and it takes the vague fears of the unknown and sweetens them by showing that the gods are like men and may be worshiped for their life-giving beauty rather than their death-dealing powers.

• La muy discutida teoría moral del arte de Ruskin formaba parte de un intento por demostrar que esta actividad humana, que tanto valoramos, comprometía a toda la personalidad humana. Su insistencia en la santidad de la naturaleza formaba parte de un intento de desarrollar la intuición de Goethe de que la forma no se puede armar en la mente mediante un proceso aditivo, sino que debe deducirse de las leyes de crecimiento de los organismos vivos y de su resistencia a los elementos.
