Excerpt from book: INTRODUCTION TO VOL. XXV This volume is devoted to Buskin's studies of Birds and Flowers. The two books which it contains are I. Love's Meinie, originally published in parts between 1873 and 1881; and II. Proserpina, similarly published between 1875 and 1886. In an appendix to each book, additional matter is now printed from the author's MS. or from proof-sheets. A sketch of Ruskin's life from the point at which we left it in the last Introduction down to his serious illness in 1878 will explain the incomplete character of both of these books. Ruskin reached home after his long sojourn at Venice on June 16, 1877. It had been a busy and not an unhappy time, but some of those who saw him at Venice noticed that he was sadly overtaxing his strength. Fairly well myself, he himself noted in his diary (July 16) soon after his return, but anxious a little about giddiness or dizziness, scarcely perceptible, but not cured since my overwork at Venice; Joanie 'came in evening and all was bright. Quiet hours with Mrs. Arthur Severn were what he liked best, and were best for him. Delicious evening with Joanie, he notes again (December 19), telling each other ghost stories. Another great and characteristic pleasure which awaited him on his return from Italy was the sight of some drawings by Turner, recently acquired for him. While he was still in Switzerland he heard of the forthcoming sale of the Novar Collection. He asked Mr. Arthur Severn to attend it on his behalf, and to buy several of the Turners. Mr. Severn bought accordingly Carnarvon Castle, Bridge of Narni, and Leicester Abbey,1 and Ruskin was well pleased, as he told Mrs. Severn: ? Simplon, Sunday, 10M June, '77. ... I think the getting these new Turners will be of great importance to me. It will set me o...

Book excerpt: OCEANS attends to the inextricable human and nonhuman agencies that affect and are affected by the sea and its running currents within contemporary art and visual culture. Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, dividing and connecting humans, who carry saltwater in their blood, sweat and tears. They also represent a powerful nonhuman force, rising, flooding, heating and raging in unprecedented ways as the climate crisis unfolds. Artists have envisioned the sea as a sublime wilderness, home to mythical creatures and bizarre species, a source of life and death, a site of new beginnings and tragic endings, both wondrous and disastrous. From migration to melting ice caps, the sea is omnipresent in international news and politics, leaking into popular culture and proliferating in recent art and exhibitions. This anthology gathers artists and writers to address the ocean not only as a theme but as a major agent of artistic and curatorial methods. Artists surveyed include Bas Jan Ader, Eileen Agar, John Akomfrah, Heba Y.

Download or read book John Ruskin J M W Turner and the Art of Water written by Carmen Casaliggi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses Ruskin’s and Turner’s mutual interest in the theme of water, with particular reference to The Harbours of England (1856), Ruskin’s book on ships and marine art to which are appended Turner’s 12 illustrations of the English ports. By considering existing scholarly works on Ruskin and Turner, the book begins by demonstrating that the two, despite their widely acknowledged relations, have rarely been examined in conjunction. It raises the question as to how the subject of water inspired the intellectual, aesthetic, philosophical, and scientific climate of the nineteenth century, both in Britain and abroad, and acknowledges the significance of the relationship between Ruskin and Turner in the context of aquatic studies. Ruskin’s childhood fascination with water is examined in detail, while the scientific and spiritual importance of the subject in Modern Painters and The Stones of Venice is also emphasised and read in parallel with The Harbours of England, a detailed account of which is given, referring to both text and illustrations. Turner’s role in Ruskin’s understanding of specific water-pictures is also reconstructed. The book demonstrates that water is important as a multifaceted compendium of contemporary themes, for tradition, progress, nationalism, and patriotism find their iconography in its depiction. Considering the literary and painterly implications of wateriness, the text concludes with a reflection upon the significance of the study of water for Ruskin and Turner, and for their age.
