An innovative and lavishly illustrated account of the art,
writings, and global influence of one of the 19th century's most
influential thinkers This book presents an innovative portrait of
John Ruskin (1819-1900) as artist, art critic, social theorist,
educator, and ecological campaigner. Ruskin's juvenilia reveal an
early embrace of his lifelong interests in geology and botany, art,
poetry, and mythology. His early admiration of Turner led him to
identify the moral power of close looking. In The Stones of Venice,
illustrated with his own drawings, he argued that the development
of architectural style revealed the moral condition of society.
Later, Ruskin pioneered new approaches to teaching and museum
practice. Influential worldwide, Ruskin's work inspired William
Morris, founders of the Labour Party, and Mahatma Gandhi. Through
thematic essays and detailed discussions of his works, this book
argues that, complex and contradictory, Ruskin's ideas are of
urgent importance today.
