Animals and Men by Kenneth Clark
' We love animals, we watch them with delight, we study their habits with ever increasing curiosity ... and we destroy them.'
Through the art of 3,000 years KENNETH CLARK examines the changing relations between animals and men.
Through the divine bulls and falcons of ancient Egypt, the sacrificial heifers on the Parthenon frieze, the tormented unicorn of Medieval tapestries, Diirer's patiently observed creatures, Stubbs's horses, and a procession of dogs, he traces the different roles in which man has cast himself, from worshipper to destroyer to guardian of animals.
