Why We Need Ruskin Now

In this lecture, art historian Tim Barringer proposes that the critical practice of Victorian-era art critic John Ruskin (1819-1900) suggests ways that we can renew art-historical thinking today. While flatly rejecting Ruskin's ideas about gender and race, Barringer reconsiders the critic's expansion of art historical discourse to embrace urgent questions of modernity. In words and images, Ruskin asked: What can we learn from the natural world and how should we care for it? How should historical monuments be understood and preserved? What is the role of art in education? And finally, how can we make a more just society?
Tim Barringer is Paul Mellon Professor and Chair of the Department of the History of Art at Yale University.
This is a Thomas and Barbara Gaehtgens Lecture, sponsored by the Getty Research Institute Council.

Ruskin woke me to seeing God in Nature (Wordsworth helped to). Blake put it best "To see a universe in a grain of sand". Theoria is the philsophical term for it and the name of a recent book about JR. Theoria, Peter Fuller, Chattos and Windus, 1988.
