John Ruskin (1819-1900)
During this
time period, John Ruskin was known for his criticism of art in the arts and
crafts movement. Along with being a critic of the arts, he was also an art
patron, draughtsman, watercolorist, an important social thinker and a philanthropist.
In all of his writings he emphasized the important connections between nature,
art and society. He also frequently drew up detailed sketches of nature,
including rocks, plants, birds, landscapes and more. He was a huge influence in
the later half of the 19th century, all the way up to WW1. Today,
his ideas are seen as having interest in environmentalism, sustainability and
craft.
