Clarke has taught ancient Greek and Roman art, art-historical methodology, and American art (1958-1985) in the Department of Art & Art History at the University of Texas since 1980. His major research has focused on domestic architecture, mosaics, and wall painting of Roman Italy, 100 B.C.-A.D. 315. In the mid-nineties he began to write about how Roman visual representation sheds light on the practices of everyday life, including sexuality and humor. He has published books and articles on these and related subjects, as well as work on Vienna-School Structuralism (1920-1950) and on 3d modeling in archaeology. Since 2005 Clarke has co-directed the Oplontis Project, focused on an archaeological site three miles from Pompeii. The Project, a collaboration among scientists, historians, and archaeologists, has produced two big Open-Access volumes on Villa A, a World Heritage Site renowned for its frescoes and sculptures, with further volumes in press.
