2019 marks the bicentenary of the birth of the great nineteenth-century artist and critic John Ruskin. Drawing on the Center’s rich collection of Ruskin’s drawings and publications, with significant loans from the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other institutions, this exhibition will position Ruskin as a pioneering ecological thinker, social reformer, educator and preservationist. Bringing together an array of diverse materials including paintings, drawings, literary manuscripts, mineral samples and memorabilia, the exhibition will highlight Ruskin’s impact in his own time and his enduring significance today.
