Lectures on art. REKIN D.

John Ryskin (1819–1900) - English writer, artist, poet, literary critic, but most of all he is known as the theorist of art, which had a huge impact on the development of the art of history and aesthetics of the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries. Ryskin has done a lot to strengthen the positions of the pre -Raphaelites, for example, in the article “Pre -Raphaelitism”, and also greatly influenced the anti -bourgeois pathos of movement. In addition, he “discovered” for contemporaries of William Turner, painter and graphics, master of landscape painting. “Lectures about art” is the fundamental work of RESKIN, which he himself considered his most significant work in which he outlined a new methodology for analyzing art. Art, according to RESKIN, is inextricably linked with morality, religion, nature and human life as a whole.
