Extractions: Ruskin was the greatest British art critic and social commentator of the Victorian Age. His ideas inspired the Arts and Crafts Movement and the founding of the National Trust, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the Labour Movement. He fiercely attacked the worst aspects of industrialization, and actively promoted art education and museums for the working classes. His prophetic statements on environmental issues speak to our generation as well as to his own. Born on 8 February 1819, the son of a prosperous sherry importer, Ruskin became a published poet and writer on geology by the age of fifteen, by which time he knew the Bible intimately. Throughout his life he undertook extended tours of Britain and the Continent, providing material for literary works such as The Poetry of Architecture The Seven Lamps of Architecture The Stones of Venice Mornings in Florence , and The Bible of Amiens Ruskin's admiration for the work of J.M.W. Turner led to the writing of Modern Painters (5 vols), his

Extractions: The aim of the Ruskin Programme is to carry out research into the work of John Ruskin and his circle, to publish the results of that research, and to organize and support exhibitions, conferences and colloquia relating to Ruskin and his circle. New website coming soon! More about the Ruskin Programme: The Director of the Ruskin Programme is Keith Hanley and the Secretary is Lindsey Walker. The Ruskin Library was constructed on the University campus during 1996-97 as the culmination of the first stage of a project to secure for posterity and make accessible the foremost collection of works of art on paper (1,486), diaries (29 volumes), letters (around 8000), literary manuscripts and transcripts (300), photographs and daguerreotypes (1835), printed books (over 3,500) and other material relating to Ruskin and his circle. Over £3m was raised, including £2.3m from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the Whitehouse Ruskin Collection (which was formerly housed on the Isle of Wight) was installed in the archive area early in 1998. The Reading Room opened in January 1998, followed by the public gallery in April 1998. The building was officially opened by HRH Princess Alexandra on 9 May 1998.

Extractions: Welcome to the home of the Gnome Gardens-by-Design Gardens-by-Design: A wonderful name for a Garden Gnome to trade under, but it sounds good any way. This site is a bit of a rag bag of various things, but many are related to Brantwood (Home of John Ruskin 1872-1900) because (a) I spend a lot of time there and (b) many of the things that I do are related to woodland crafts. Also there are links to some of my more obscure ramblings and interests, for any Alan Moore fans out there there is a link to some pages I am putting together of his early work. "Hey he's just some guy I used to know". I have tried to keep the pages as simple as possible to allow access from all browsers and to keep file sizes small, some images are larger than I would like, but to get an acceptable resolution I had to compromise ( that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it). To people who do not know me and wonder where the *Gnome* reference comes from: What would you call a small bearded indivual, with a propensity for wearing silly hats and is usually found lurking in a garden somewhere?

The Nature Of Gothic
An extract from john ruskin's influential book The Stones of Venice (18513).
http://www47.homepage.villanova.edu/seth.koven/gothic.html

Extractions: THE NATURE OF GOTHIC by John Ruskin (From The Stones of Venice, Vol. II) We are now about to enter upon the examination of that school of Venetian architecture which forms an intermediate step between the Byzantine and Gothic forms; but which I did find may be conveniently considered in its connection with the latter style. In order that we may discern the tendency of each step of this change, it will be wise in the outset to endeavour to form some general idea of its final result. We know already what the Byzantine architecture is from which the transition was made, but we ought to know something of the Gothic architecture into which it led. I shall endeavour therefore to give the reader in this chapter an idea, at once broad and definite, of the true nature of Gothic architecture, properly so called; not of that of Venice only, but of universal Gothic. st Mental Power or Expression. What characters, we have to discover, did the Gothic builders love, or instinctively express in their work, as distinguished from all other builders ? Let us go back for a moment to our chemistry, and note that, in defining a mineral by its constituent parts, it is not one nor another of them, that can make up the mineral, but the union of all: for instance, it is neither in charcoal nor in oxygen, not in lime, that there is the making of chalk, but in the combination of all three in certain measures; they are all found in very different things from chalk, and there is nothing like chalk either in charcoal or oxygen but they are nevertheless necessary to its existence.

Extractions: d. Jan. 20, 1900, Coniston, Lancashire English writer, critic, and artist who championed the Gothic Revival movement in architecture and had a large influence upon public taste in art in Victorian England. Youth John Ruskin's parents recognized a dangerous precocity and an unstable genius in their child and sheltered him from contact with reality. His father, John James Ruskin, was a successful wine merchant. The Ruskins moved to Herne Hill, on the southern outskirts of London, when Ruskin was four, and to nearby Denmark Hill, near Dulwich, when he was 20. His natural appetite for pictures found satisfaction in the Dulwich College Picture Gallery, and the pictures exhibited there remained the basis of his thoughts on art. The Dulwich gallery, his readings at home, and his father's encouragement of his facile talents in writing and drawing were the most valuable part of his education. He also took drawing lessons from the watercolourist Copley Fielding. When he was 14 the family began a series of tours in Europe, and in the Alps he found the beauty and sublimity that his imagination needed. When he was 17 Ruskin fell in love with Ade le Domecq, the daughter of his father's Spanish partner. The frustration of this affair seems to have been the effective cause of a permanent failure to attain emotional maturity. In 1836 Ruskin went up to Christ Church, Oxford, where his studies were desultory and his social life was hampered by his mother's presence in lodgings nearby. Nonetheless, he had gotten away from the suburbs and made friends who were permanently to enrich his life. He won the Newdigate prize for poetry in 1839 and, because of a generous allowance from his father, was able to begin to collect pictures by J.M.W. Turner.
Of The Pathetic Fallacy
Essay from 1856 Modern Painters volume iii, part 4 by john ruskin.
http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/ruskinj/index.htm

Extractions: Modern Painters , volume iii, pt. 4, 1856) No words can be more exquisitely, and in all points, useless; and I merely speak of them that I may, at once and for ever, get them out of my way, and out of my reader's. But to get that done, they must be explained. The word ' Blue', say certain philosophers, means the sensation of colour which the human eye receives in looking at the open sky, or at a bell gentian. Now, say they farther, as this sensation can only be felt when the eye is turned to the object, and as, therefore, no such sensation is produced by the object when nobody looks at it, therefore the thing, when it is not looked at, is not blue; and thus (say they) there are many qualities of things which depend as much on something else as on themselves. To be sweet, a thing must have a taster; it is only sweet while it is being tasted, and if the tongue had not the capacity of taste, then the sugar would not have the quality of sweetness. And then they agree that the qualities of things which thus depend upon our perception of them, and upon our human nature as affected by them, shall be called Subjective; and the qualities of things which they always have, irrespective of any other nature, as roundness or squareness, shall be called Objective. From these ingenious views the step is very easy to a farther opinion, that it does not much matter what things are in themselves, but only what they are to us; and that the only real truth of them is their appearance to, or effect upon, us. From which position, with a hearty desire for mystification, and much egotism, selfishness, shallowness, and impertinence, a philosopher may easily go so far as to believe, and say, that everything in the world depends upon his seeing or thinking of it, and that nothing, therefore, exists, but what he sees or thinks of.

Extractions: Grave location: Coniston, Cumbria: St. Andrew's Churchyard Writer of extensive works on art in which he emphasized the importance of nature for spiritual health. He was among the first to recognize the qualities of Turner and defended the pre-raphaelites against the vigorous attacks by the critics. He had a huge personal fortune that he used for filantropic projects. His marriage to Effie Gray was annulled on the groud of non-consummation and she married his friend John Millais, whose work he had always praised highly. From 1858 on he loved Rose La Touche, until even after her death in 1875. Ruskin blasted the paintings of Whistler and wrote about "Nocturne in Black and Gold: the Falling Rocket" that Whistler was 'flinging a pot of paint in the public face' and that asking 200 guineas for it was nearly wilful imposture. Whistler sued him for this and a trial surrounded by much publicity followed. Ruskin wasn't present, and Whistler won after a brilliant defense. But since he was awarded only one farthing in damages and had to pay the costs of the trial, he eventually went bankrupt.
Ruskin Lace With Elizabeth Prickett

Extractions: Over the past thirty two years and having taught in excess of 4000 students I am still learning and enjoying the challenges that an empty pattern area presents. The pattern components are not hard and fast rules, though the geometric grid is. As no two workers see in the same way, nor do we all work at the same tension, therefore proportions of the original will differ, so the smaller components can be interchanged. The exciting part is making the end result technically and aesthetically satisfying as a leisure pursuit. The purpose of this site is to preserve the traditional characteristics of this needlecraft and to share it with as many like minded as possible

Extractions: From John Ruskin, a volume originally published in 1985 by Oxford University Press in its Past Masters series and adapted for the Victorian Web in May and June 2000 as a project supported by the University Scholars Programme of the National University of Singapore. It was carried out by the following Student Research Assistants under the direction of the author: Gerald Ajam of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences created the electronic text using OmniPage Pro OCR software; I created the HTML version for the first chapter, and Tiaw Kay Siang of the Faculty of Engineering created the HTML version of the remainder of the volume. The original volume has no foot- or endnotes. I added all links to materials in VW [GPL]. John Ruskin was born on 8 February 1819 at 54 Hunter Street, London, the only child of Margaret and John James Ruskin. His father, a prosperous, self-made man who was a founding partner of Pedro Domecq sherries, collected art and encouraged his son's literary activities, while his mother, a devout evangelical Protestant , early dedicated her son to the service of God and devoutly wished him to become an Anglican bishop. Ruskin, who received his education at home until the age of twelve, rarely associated with other children and had few toys. During his sixth year he accompanied his parents on the first of many annual tours of the Continent. Encouraged by his father, he published his first poem, "On Skiddaw and Derwent Water," at the age of eleven, and four years later his first prose work, an article on the waters of the Rhine.

http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/hopkins_guide_to_literary_theory/john_ruskin.html

Extractions: John Ruskin (1819-1900), a lifelong experimenter with genre, is best known as an art critic whose theories of beauty and the imagination were formed by his evangelical training, his attention to detail, and the early poetry of William Wordsworth . Ruskin's literary criticism, dispersed throughout Modern Painters (1843-60) and concentrated in his studies of myth, The Queen of the Air (1869), and of Romantic poetry and the novel, Fiction Fair and Foul (1880-81), reflects his sustained concern for art as a visible sign of an abstract quality, particularly the moral temper of the artist. His dramatic verbal translations of J. M. W. Turner's canvases in volume 1 of Modern Painters (1843), his highly wrought visual associations, and his allegorical readings of painting, sculpture, and landscape in later works such as Modern Painters 5 (1860) and The Bible of Amiens (1880-85) influenced George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Marcel Proust, among other writers. Ruskin's aesthetic judgments were based on the link between beauty and morality made during daily Bible readings with his mother, who required him to recite passages from memory and enforced what he called in his autobiography accuracy of sensation and precision of feeling. In the habit of observing everything around him (including patterns in the carpet and bricks in the wall) and of searching the Bible for types and antitypes, Ruskin believed that physical qualities manifest divine attributes. In Modern Painters 2 (1846), he labels this relation "typical" after biblical typology, although the connection he makes between light, for example, and purity is actually allegorical, since it juxtaposes an abstraction with a phenomenon. Ruskin's "vital beauty," defined as "the appearance of felicitous fulfilment of function in living things" (4-146), is more akin to evangelical typology; an object displaying vital beauty reenacts "a moral purpose and achievement" (4-147) that arouses the sympathy of the virtuous beholder. By claiming that beauty was in effect purposive and inherent in objects, Ruskin was able to dissociate aesthetics from utility and invest art with a divine pattern or order. His position allied him with the eighteenth-century sensationists, notably
