Excerpt from Notes by Mr. Ruskin on Samuel Prout and William Hunt: A Loan Collection of Drawings Exhibited at the Fine Art Society's Galleries
T has been only in compliance with the often and earnestly urged request of my friend Mr. Marcus Huish, that I have thrown the following notes together, on the works of two artists belonging to a time with which nearly all associations are now ended in the mind of general society and of which my own memories, it seemed to me, could give little pleasure, (even if I succeeded in rendering them intelligible,) to a public indulged with far more curious arts, and eager for otherwise poignant interests than those which seemed admirable, - though not pre tending to greatness, and were felt to be delightful, though not provoking enthusiasm, in the quiet and little diverted lives of the English middle classes, 'sixty years since.'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book includes drawings of two artists, J. Ruskin and M. Huish, that both worked during a time in history when society was losing touch with the ordinary practices of the middle class. These artists sought to bring light to the traditions and rituals of the middle class and to preserve them through the use of art. Ruskin believed that the works of art should be taught to the lower class so that they may gain an understanding of the beauty in their world. He also believed that for art to be good, it should be affordable to the middle class and that the pieces should speak to the common person and not be abstract or ridiculous. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330450673_0
