Lektsii ob iskusstve - Volkova P.D., Reskin Dzhon

John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) - English writer, artist, poet, literary critic, but most of all he is known as an art theorist, who had a huge influence on the development of art history and aesthetics of the second half of the 19th and early 20th century. Ruskin did a lot to strengthen the pre-Raphaelite positions, for example, in the article "Pre-Raphaelite" and also strongly influenced the anti-bourgeois pathos of the movement. In addition, he "discovered" for contemporaries William Turner, painter and graphic artist, master of landscape painting.
"Lectures on Art" is a fundamental work by Reskin, which he considered his most significant work, in which he laid out a new methodology for the analysis of art. Art, according to Reskin, is inextricably linked to morality, religion, nature and human life in general.
