Overview
"One of Victorian Britain's leading art critics and social theorists, known for the breadth of his subject matter and variety of writing forms, John Ruskin ... was also a geologist, teacher and prolific artist ... [He] drew to observe and comprehend. For him, drawing was a means of focusing his eye on the minutiae of nature and architecture in order to gather information and gain knowledge ... To stand before one of Ruskin's highly expressive drawings ... is not just to discover visual facts, but also to gain insight into the artist's complex world view and emotional state ... [This exhibition] brings together around 140 drawings, watercolours and daguerrotypes, representing Ruskin's entire career and diverse subject matter ... [and] includes many of Ruskin's best-known and admired drawings, as well as others that are exhibited in public for the first time--Foreword.
