Question- Write a note on Ruskin as an art critic.
Answer -
Ruskins's first volume of modern painter appeared in 1843. In it he revealed his love of nature and art. This amazing volume by an oxford graduate' was designed to be a defence of the Painter Turner. Later on it was considered that it was not only an appreciation of one artist but the first of a five volumes study. He gave his theories of the relationship of morality and art. He expressed it in the 'Seven Lamps of Architecture' (1849) and "The Stones of Venue' (3 Vol. 1851-53). Ruskin thought that great art should be technically sound. It should be rooted firmly in individual and national morality. We can say that his Seven Lamps of Architecture' exhibit his leading principles of art. These are sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life memory and obedience.
