Opis

Excerpt from Art and Life: A Ruskin Anthology When John Ruskin died the other day on the shores Of Coniston water the last of the group of idealistic giants of the Victorian era passed away. One must pity the man or woman who has lived as the contemporary of this man and not had his or her life enriched by his gospel of beauty and justice. He has shown us the world's delicate tent Of blue shutting down around a splendor Of living beauty that makes a mere child's toy Of even such a marvellous shrine as that Of St. Mark's. Single-handed Ruskin slew the vile and heartless Ricardo and Adam Smith school Of political economy, proving it unscientific because treat ing man as a machine, and ignoring the chief element in the case,-the emotional and moral nature. Even his enemies admit that he has done this. It was a great service. Ruskin has rescued the study of art in England from dilettanteism. His judgments on special works of the Old and the modern painters (you can see for yourself when you examine the originals) are Often absurdly awry, exaggerated, swayed by his own eccentric personal bias; but, as has been said of Carlyle, his very foibles are interesting.
