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.

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.

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. 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.

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 In other respects also the section on the sea was' wholly um satisfactory to me: I knew little of ships, nothing of blue Open water. Turner's pathetic interest in the sea, and his inexhaustible knowledge Of shipping, deserved more complete and accurate illustration than was at all possible to me and the mathematical difficulty lay at the beginning Of all demon stration of facts. I determined to do this piece Of work well, or not at all, and threw the proposed section out Of this vol ume. If I ever am able to do what I want with it (and this is barely probable), it will be a separate book; which, on other accounts, I do not regret, since many persons might be interested in studies of the shipping Of the Old Nelson times, and of the sea-waves and sailor character Of all times, who would not care to encumber themselves with five volumes Of a work on Art.

Ures we have always beautiful drawing of the air, which in the copy before us is entirely wanting, the real features of the extreme mountain distance are equally neglected or maligned in all. There is, indeed, air be tween us and it; but ten miles, not seventy miles of space. Let us observe a little more closely the practice of nature in such cases.

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.
