T.J. Clark
T.J. Clark taught art history at Berkeley for many years. His most recent books are If These Apples Should Fall: Cezanne and the Present (Thames & Hudson, 2022) and Those Passions: On Art and Politics (Thames & Hudson, 2025).
Fried and I (apologies for nostalgia) have had our public spats. We still disagree about plenty. Opposition is true friendship. But differences of “opinion” always matter less in matters of art than degrees of commitment, real exposure to the thing itself.
A poem by T.J. Clark.
T. J. Clark taught art history at Berkeley for many years. His last book was If These Apples Should Fall: Cezanne and the Present, and his next one, just finished, will be Those Passions: On Art and Politics.
