Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. The finest of Ruskin's writings on painting, sculpture and architecture are reproduced here in chronological order thereby showing the development of the author's personality and ideas. In her introduction Joan Evans writes:- "It was the sharpness of his aesthetic perception, both of painting and architecture, combined as it was with literary facility, that made it natural for him to write on art"."Ruskin. had a characteristic quality of directness of approach that was all his own. He 'saw' his buildings in great detail; he was learning to relate them to the particular society which had produced them and to the events which influenced that society at the moment of their building. He admitted and exploited his own predilection for minute and delicate decoration, and his own inclination to admit a moral element into the assessment of artistic values. Such idiosyncrasies were congenial to his public and his books had a great success.' This book contains the essence of his teaching and his best appreciations of works of art. Illustrations are of works discussed as well as a few of his own drawings.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was the most important critic of the last century and one of the period's greatest writers of English prose. He exercised an enormous influence not only on the theory but also on the practice of the arts, and by his powerful advocacy of Turner, the Pre-Raphaelites and the Gothic style decisively affected the course of British art and architecture. He was an exceedingly prolific writer, and the standard edition of his works runs to 38 volumes - a daunting prospect to the scholar and general reader alike. This book is designed to make available, in an easily accessible form, a generous selection of Ruskin's finest writings on painting, sculpture and architecture. It is arranged chronologically to show the development of his critical method, which in his time constituted a new and almost revolutionary approach to art. The reader will thus find in one volume the essence of Ruskin's teaching and his best appreciations of works of art. The illustrations are of works discussed by Ruskin in the text, and include some of his own drawings. This famous Phaidon series brings together in an elegant format some of the best-known writings of renowned artists, critics and interpreters of our cultural tradition. Each book, an acknowledged classic, provides insights not only into the worlds of the arts and cultural history, but also into the creative and intellectual preoccupations of its author and his time. This handsome Phaidon edition has a wide range of illustrations specially chosen to complement the text. Protected jacket, which has few signs of wear and it is not price clipped. There are no owner names or annotations.
