Papers, ca. 1923-1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/444734661

The collection consists of correspondence, composed largely of incoming letters to Kenneth Clark and his wife, Jane, with occasional typescript carbon copies of Clark's response, and partial diary from 1934. It also includes one group of letters from Clark to his biographer, Meryle Secrest, who originally compiled these papers. Although the letters span from 1923 to 1983, the bulk covers the years between 1923 and 1950, documenting the period in Clark's life when he began to develop his skills as an art historian, and make his mark on the art world.
