    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} On Art and Life by John Ruskin History of the Victorian Art Critic and Writer John Ruskin. Ruskin200.com is no longer available here. Please visit ruskinprize.co.uk/manchester instead. Who Was John Ruskin? John Ruskin was undoubtedly a fascinating character, one of the most famous art critics of the Victorian era. His many talents included philosophy, philanthropy, and writing. His books spanned many genres, including geology, myths, and literature. Ruskin's Personal Life. Ruskin had a complex personality and today would be described as bipolar, as he often suffered bouts of depression. For long periods, the state of his mental health rendered him powerless to do anything. His first relationship was a failure. He was said to be disgusted by his wife's body, leading to a divorce on the grounds of consummation not having happened. A second love affair was marred by tragedy as the object of his affections died of anorexia at the age of 27. Ruskin's Books. A prolific writer, Ruskin, published several important works on a great many subjects. His first volume of Modern Painters was a very influential piece, written when he was only 24. His alternative views on popular artists brought him to the attention of the art establishment. The Stones of Venice was published in 1851 and discussed Ruskin's love of Venice and its architecture. His beliefs that the classical style represented a need to control civilisation are still studied today. There is much to learn about John Ruskin, and there is a museum dedicated to him, located in the Lake District.

Taylor, MA, FSA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of Arts Roehampton University 2010 Abstract Vernon Lushington (1832-1912) was a leading Positivist and disciple of Comte's Religion of Humanity. In The Religion of Humanity: The Impact of Comtean Positivism on Victorian Britain T.R. Wright observed that “the inner struggles of many of [Comte's] English disciples, so amply documented in their note books, letters, and diaries, have not so far received the close sympathetic treatment they deserve.” Material from a previously little known and un-researched archive of the Lushington family now makes possible such a study.

  • Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) Had Only Seven Members but Influenced Many Other Artists
    1 • Of course, their patrons, largely the middle-class themselves form different groups and each member of the PRB appealed to different types of buyers but together they created a stronger brand. In fact, they differed from a boy band as they created works that were bought independently. As well as their overall PRB brand each created an individual brand (sub-cognitive branding) that convinced the buyer they were making a wise investment. • Millais could be trusted as he was a born artist, an honest Englishman and made an ARA in 1853 and later RA (and President just before he died). • Hunt could be trusted as an investment as he was serious, had religious convictions and worked hard at everything he did. • Rossetti was a typical unreliable Romantic image of the artist so buying one of his paintings was a wise investment as you were buying the work of a ‘real artist’. 2 • The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) had only seven members but influenced many other artists. • Those most closely associated with the PRB were Ford Madox Brown (who was seven years older), Elizabeth Siddal (who died in 1862) and Walter Deverell (who died in 1854). • Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris were about five years younger. They met at Oxford and were influenced by Rossetti. I will discuss them more fully when I cover the Arts & Crafts Movement. • There were many other artists influenced by the PRB including, • John Brett, who was influenced by John Ruskin, • Arthur Hughes, a successful artist best known for April Love, • Henry Wallis, an artist who is best known for The Death of Chatterton (1856) and The Stonebreaker (1858), • William Dyce, who influenced the Pre-Raphaelites and whose Pegwell Bay is untypical but the most Pre-Raphaelite in style of his works.

  • John Ruskin: Prophet of the Anthropocene
    John Ruskin: Prophet of the Anthropocene Paper Titles and Abstracts John Ruskin and the Green New Deal, Or a Brief History of Zombies, Gothic Architecture, and the Great Recession Amy Woodson-Boulton, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA Just before the financial collapse of 2008, thinkers in the United States and Great Britain articulated the idea of a “Green New Deal” that would have used a combination of government investment and carbon trading to lower CO2 emissions. In the wake of the Great Recession, British and American conservatives prevented any substantive legislative progress, first embracing austerity and then an increasingly nationalist populism. In the last several years, however, politicians and economists on the left in both countries have revived the idea, this time with much broader goals of social change. This paper considers this new, ambitious Green New Deal in relation to John Ruskin’s penetrating social critique. I argue that Ruskin’s work clarifies the connection between economics and morality: namely, if we want to create human systems that are ecologically and socially sustainable, we need to first and foremost stop treating human beings as machines. Considering the global environmental history that separated saving “pristine nature” from promoting social justice, I will examine how Ruskin gives us the language and framework to re-unite them. “The Real Science of Political Economy”: John Ruskin and Economics after Neoliberalism Eugene McCarraher, Villanova University The discipline of economics is in crisis. Scholars and politicians have criticized economists for failing to predict the last two major recessions, and some economists themselves are beginning to question the very conceptual foundations of their “science.” At the same time, although neoliberalism remains the predominant wisdom among the political, corporate, and journalistic elites, its abject failure has galvanized intellectuals and popular movements to seek alternatives.
