New online lecture series: John Ruskin’s Britain: How One Critic Changed Victorian Art and Design with 92NY Roundtable: John Ruskin’s Britain: How One Critic Changed Victorian Art and Design 3 Sessions: Nov 17th, Nov 24th, Dec 1st at 4pm John Ruskin is hard to pin down: art critic, watercolourist, social thinker, early environmental writer, and a figure whose relationships with the artists around him were often complicated. That range is what makes him worth knowing. Join me for three sessions on how one man defended Turner, encouraged a generation of radical painters, and taught William Morris and other young designers to value hand-made work. Along the way, you will see how many of the British art movements you already love trace back to a figure most people have never met.
