Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 3: Of Many Things The first and second volumes were written to check, as far as I could, the attacks upon Turner which prevented the public from honouring his genius, at the time when his power was greatest. The check was partially given, but too late; Turner was seized by painful illness not long after the second volume appeared; his works, towards the close of the year 1845, showed a conclusive failure of power; and I saw that nothing remained for me to write, but his epitaph.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 3 Man's use and function (and let him who will not grant me this follow me no farther, for this I purpose always to assume) is to be the witness of the glory of God, and to advance that glory by his reasonable obedience and resultant happiness. Whatever enables us to fulfil this function, is in the pure and first sense of the word useful to us. Pre-eminently therefore whatever sets the glory of God more brightly before us. But things that only help us to exist, are in a secondary and mean sense, useful, or rather, if they be looked for alone, they are useless and worse, for it would be better that we should not exist, than ma; u 3 should guiltily disappoint the purposes of existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 3 of 5 It may perhaps be thought that, considering the not very elaborate structure of the following volumes, they might have been finished sooner. But it will be found, on reflection, that the ranges of inquiry engaged in demanded, even for their slight investigation, time and pains which are quite unrepresented in the result. It often required a week or two's hard walking to deter mine some geological problem, now dismissed in an unnoticed sentence; and it constantly needed examina tion and thought, prolonged during many days in the picture gallery, to form opinions which the reader may suppose to be dictated by caprice, and will hear only to dispute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 5 The third and fourth volumes of Modern Painters were published in January and April 1856; the fifth, and concluding, volume did not appear till June 1860. The causes which led to this delay are glanced at by Ruskin in his Preface to the fifth volume, and they have been more fully described in the Introductions to Volumes XIII. - XVI. The years which intervened were four of the busiest in Ruskin's busy life, and the tasks which occupied him seemed more important at the moment than the completion Of his book. He was hard at work, then, on other things; but also he had much to learn before he could see his way to bring his long argument to a conclusion. The book, which began as an essay in defence of a particular painter, had branched forth in many directions, with something of the Dryad's waywardness and though firmly rooted all the while in strong and definite principles, yet his Opinions on particular schools and masters weie growing, now in this direction, and now in that, while new subjects Of inquiry Opened out on every side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1 Whatever I have asserted throughout the work, I have endeavored to ground altogether on demonstrations which must stand or fall by their own strength, and which ought to involve no more reference to authority or character than a demonstration in Euclid. Yet it is proper for the public to know, that the writer is no mere theorist, but has been devoted from his youth to the laborious study of practical art. Whatever has been generally affirmed of the old schools of landscape-painting is founded on familiar acquaintance with every important work of art, from Antwerp to Naples. But it would be useless, where close and immediate compari son with works in our own Academy is desirable, to refer to the details of pictures at Rome or Munich and it would be impossible to speak at once with just feeling, as regarded the possessor, and just freedom, as regarded the public, of pict ures in private galleries. Whatever particular references have been made for illustration, have been therefore confined, as far as was in my power, to works in the National and Dul wich Galleries.

Download or read book Modern Painters Vol 1 written by John Ruskin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1: Part I.-II The work now laid before the public originated in indigua. Tion at the shallow and false criticism of the periodicals of the day on the works of the great living artist to whom it princi pally refers. It was intended to be a short pamphlet, reprohat ing the matter and style of those critiques, and pointing out their perilous tendency, as guides of public feeling. But, as point after point presented itself for demonstration, I found myself compelled to amplify what was at first a letter to the Editor of a Review, into something very like a treatise on art, to which I was obliged to give the more consistency and com pleteness, because it advocated opinions which, to the ordinary connoisseur, will sound heretical. I now scarcely know whether I should announce it is an Essay on Landscape Painting, and apologize for its frequent reference to the works of a particular master; or, announcing it as a critique on particular works, apologize for its lengthy discussion of general principles. But of whatever character the work may be considered, the motives which led me to undertake it must not be mistaken. No zeal for the reputation of any individual, no personal feeling of any kind, has the slightest weight or influence with me. The rep tation of the great artist to whose works I have chiefly referred, is established on too legitimate grounds amongall whose admira tion is honorable, to be in any way afiected by the ignorant sarcasms of pretension and afiectation. But when public taste seems plunging deeper and deeper into degradation day by dayw and when the press universally exerts such power as it possesses to direct the feeling of the nation more completely to all that is theatrical, affected, and false in art; while it vents its ribald bufiooneries on the most exalted truth, and the highest ideal of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 5: Completing the Work and Containing Parts Vi and VII-of Leaf Beauty-of Cloud Beauty; Parts VIII and IX-of Ideas of Relation: 1. Of Invention Formal, 2. Of Invention Spiritual The disproportion between the length Of time occupied in the preparation Of this volume, and the slightness of appar ent result, is so vexatious to me, and must seem so strange to the reader, that he will perhaps bear with my stating some Of the matters which have employed or interrupted me between 1855 and 1860. I needed rest after finishing the fourth volume, and did little in the following summer. The winter of 1856 was spent in writing the Elements Of Draw ing, for which I thought there was immediate need; and in examining with more attention than they deserved some Of the modern theories of political economy, to which there was necessarily reference in my addresses at Manchester. The Manchester Exhibition then gave me some Work, chiefly in its magnificent Reynold's constellation and thence I went on into Scotland, to look at Dumblane and Jedburgh, and some other favorite sites of Turner's which I had not at all seen, when I received notice from Mr. Wornum that he had Obtained for me permission, from the Trustees Of the Na' tional Gallery, to arrange, as I thought best, the Turner drawings belonging to the nation on which I returned to London immediately.
