Speaker

Robert Hewison, Lancaster University, UK

With a response by Jorge Otero-Pailos

Ruskin was unusual among leading Victorian thinkers in that he could draw as well as write. In this lecture, I will be exploring the visual dimension in Ruskin’s thought as it developed in response to his experience of European art and architecture, as evidenced by his own drawings.

Biography
