Les Matins à Florence: Simples études d'art chrétien

The following lectures were really given, in substance, at a girls' school (far in the country); which, in the course of various experiments on the possibility of introducing some better practice of drawing into the modern scheme of female education, I visited frequently enough to enable the children to regard me as a friend. The Lectures always fell more or less into the form of fragmentary answers to questions; and they are allowed to retain that form, as, on the whole, likely to be more interesting than the symmetries of a continuous treatise. Many children (for the school was large) took part, at different times, in the conversations; but I have endeavored, without confusedly multiplying the number of imaginary speakers, to represent, as far as I could, the general tone of comment and inquiry among young people.

The Ethics of the Dust

" Ne reconnaissons-nous pas le type de ce conservateur subversif qui bouleversa si rudement les préjugés de son temps en prétendant restaurer, dans leur antique splendeur, les principes qu'ils consacrent ? Souvenez-vous de cette image calme, un peu surannée, conforme, jusqu'à l'affectation, lorsque vous lirez les passages les plus enflammés de ces conférences, la condamnation violente de la culture moderne, l'apologie du Moyen Age catholique, la critique acerbe d'une société soi-disant chrétienne et qui proscrit soigneuse-ment le christianisme des arts de la vie domestique, de l'éducation et de la politique pour se réfugier dans le mensonge confortable de misérables défroques païennes... " E. Cammaerts,1909. " En son temps, Ruskin fut une figure majeure de la pensée anglo-saxonne, non seulement dans le champ circonscrit des arts, mais aussi dans le champ social, maître à penser du bon goût, de la morale en acte. La fin du XIXe est assurément plus ruskinienne que baudelairienne ; la beauté est davantage soumise à sa pensée, forme de kirei japonais (notion réunissant beauté, équilibre moral et esthétique) qu'à la convulsion romantique, qui aura, nous nous en réjouissons, une descendance bien plus riche... Il y a, chez Ruskin, au-delà d'une simple préoccupation morale, une impossibilité esthétique à évoluer en deçà de l'éthique (...) parce que penser l'art c'est revendiquer son appartenance à l'humanité définie par ses facultés cognitives et créatrices... " A. Collot, 2009

Conférences sur l'architecture et la peinture

Cominciando dagli ultimi è prima di tutto un grido in difesa della giustizia. Alle porte della Seconda Rivoluzione Industriale, di fronte alle masse di lavoratori e operai che si riversano nelle città, John Ruskin si propone di definire cosa sia la ricchezza nella convinzione che esistano virtù morali essenziali al suo raggiungimento e superiori alla tanto acclamata "legge di mercato". Lo fa in quattro saggi scritti nell'estate del 1860, un attacco senza mezzi termini all'economia politica del tempo. Una riflessione che ha segnato talmente il Mahatma Gandhi da fargli ritenere Cominciando dagli ultimi il testo che lo ha "catturato e spinto a cambiare vita". « Compra quando conviene? Va bene, ma cosa rende il mercato conveniente? Il carbone è economico se viene dalle assi del tuo tetto dopo un incendio e i mattoni hanno un buon prezzo nella tua zona dopo un terremoto [.]. Vendere al prezzo più alto? Sì, davvero, ma cosa rende il mercato vantaggioso? Oggi hai venduto il pane a un buon prezzo: l'hai venduto a un moribondo che ti ha dato la sua ultima moneta e che non avrà mai più bisogno di pane? ». Introduzione di Luigino Bruni.

Cominciando dagli ultimi

The decay of the city of Venice is, in many respects, like that of an outwearied and aged human frame; the cause of its decrepitude is indeed at the heart, but the outward appearances of it are first at the extremities. In the centre of the city there are still places where some evidence of vitality remains, and where, with kind closing of the eyes to signs, too manifest even there, of distress and declining fortune, the stranger may succeed in imagining, for a little while, what must have been the aspect of Venice in her prime. But this lingering pulsation has not force enough any more to penetrate into the suburbs and outskirts of the city; the frost of death has there seized upon it irrevocably, and the grasp of mortal disease is marked daily by the increasing breadth of its belt of ruin.

The Stones of Venice, Volume II

The following Lectures are printed, as far as possible, just as they were delivered. Here and there a sentence which seemed obscure has been mended, and the passages which had not been previously written, have been, of course imperfectly, supplied from memory. But I am well assured that nothing of any substantial importance which was said in the lecture-room, is either omitted, or altered in its signification; with the exception only of a few sentences struck out from the notice of the works of Turner, in consequence of the impossibility of engraving the drawings by which they were illustrated, except at a cost which would have too much raised the price of the volume. Some elucidatory remarks have, however, been added at the close of the second and fourth Lectures, which I hope may be of more use than the passages which I was obliged to omit.

Lectures on Architecture and Painting

Excerpt from Les Pierres de Venise: Etudes Locales Pouvant Servir de Direction aux Voyageurs Sejournant a Venise Et a Verone Qu'est-ce donc que cet homme si populaire a la fois chez nos voisins du Sud et chez nos voisins du Nord, et de quel nom devons-nous l'appeler? Un archeologue? 4 Nen. Bien qu'il ait penetre, sur quelques points, plus avant que ses predecesseurs, dans l'histoire du Palais Ducal et qu'on lui doive l'idee du magistral ouvrage de Giambattista Lorenzi sur les Monuments pour servir a l'histoire du Palais Ducal depuis 1253 jusqu'a 1797, Ruskin n'etait, ni par son education, ni par sa methode, un archeologue. Un peintre? Pas davantage. S'il dessinait correctement, toujours avec finesse, parfois avec une entente de l'effet qui le rapproche inopinement de son ennemi Whistler, Ruskin ne produisit pas d'oeuvres picturales assez notoires pour qu'on puisse le classer parmi les professionnels. Un critique? Un historien? Non; il a laisse de cote presque tous les actes fameux de l'histoire de Venise. Sur tous ces points on a fait, depuis l'ni, des progres et son entreprise est a la fois trop vaste et trop incomplete au regard de l'erudition et de la critique modernes. Un seul nom convient a Ruskin et le definit. Ce fut un sourcier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Les Pierres de Venise: Études Locales Pouvant Servir de Direction Aux Voyageurs Séjournant a Venise Et a Verone (Classic Reprint)

Je voudrais donner au lecteur le désir et le moyen d'aller passer une journée à Amiens en une sorte de pèlerinage ruskinien. Ce n'était pas la peine de commencer par lui demander d'aller à Florence ou à Venise, quand Ruskin a écrit sur Amiens tout un livre. Sans doute le snobisme qui fait paraître raisonnable tout ce que Ruskin touche n'a pas encore atteint (pour les Français du moins) et par là préservé du ridicule, ces promenades esthétiques. Dites que vous allez à Bayreuth entendre une opéra de Wagner, à Amsterdam visiter une exposition, on regrettera de ne pouvoir vous accompagner. Mais, si vous avouez que vous allez voir, à la Pointe du Raz, une tempête, en Normandie, les pommiers en fleurs, à Amiens, une statue aimée de Ruskin, on ne pourra s'empêcher de sourire. Je n'en espère pas moins que vous irez à Amiens après m'avoir lu.Marcel Proust.
