Photo of Renewing an old clematis

I have two well established clematises growing against a gazebo. I don't know which type, but they seem to get new leaves and blossoms on old growth. They have a lot of dead material at the bottom, and also inside. I'm wondering whether if I prune them hard they will get new growth lower down. Any suggestions? (This photo was taken on June 19 - the blooms are gone now.)
