English art critic John Ruskin was one of the great visionaries of his time, and his influential books and letters on the power of art challenged the foundations of Victorian life. He loved looking. Sometimes it informed the things he wrote, but often it provided access to the many topographical and cultural topics he explored--rocks, plants, birds, Turner, Venice, the Alps. In The Art of Ruskin and the Spirit of Place, John Dixon Hunt focuses for the first time on what Ruskin drew, rather than wrote, offering a new perspective on Ruskin's visual imagination. Through analysis of more than 150 drawings and sketches, many reproduced here, he shows how Ruskin's art shaped his writings, his thoughts, and his sense of place. 163303 Ruskin, John 1819-1900 218414 Drawing, British. 19th century lcc 6 N6797.R8 General H86 2020 296552 296552 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2021-06-24 GOBI 45.00 0 General N6797.R8 H86 2020 91000000064881 2021-07-14 00:00:00 1 55.00 2021-06-24 6
