Ruskin, Turner and the Storm Cloud

Ruskin, Turner & the Storm Cloud presents new writing on John Ruskin's vision of art and its relationship with modern society and a changing environment. As part of the re-evaluation of Ruskin, 200 years after his birth in 1819, art historians, scientists, geographers, artists and curators explore the critic's lifelong commitment to the painted landscapes of JMW Turner and his own artistic ambitions, as well as his prophetic concerns about the world's darkening skies, pollution and psychological turbulence. Exhibition: York Art Gallery, UK (23.03.-23.06.2019) / Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal, UK (11.07.-05.10.2019).
