Victorian polymath & colossus John Ruskin was born #OTD in 1819. Ruskin was a superb draughtsman with an intense eye on the natural world. We highly recommend 'An Instinct to Draw' by Prof Stephen Wildman celebrating Ruskin's drawings at the @AshmoleanMuseum for #WednesdayWonder
Today is the 204th birthday of John Ruskin, who founded the Guild & whose ideas & ideals inspire our work today. Our logo, taken from Ruskin's copy of Carpaccio's St George, symbolises the challenge then & now: how might we tame the dragon of unfettered industrial capitalism?
Come to the Ashmolean next Thursday (or sign up for Zoom) and hear about Ruskin's own beautiful watercolours, and the contradictions between his love for Turner and his role as self-appointed champion of the Pre-Raphaelites

Is it a landscape or flesh?

With flesh tints, this landscape resonates with a hint of John Ruskin's feather drawing...

"Theatre of War: The Cloud" by me. Thinking abt military interoperability in the age of The Cloud. Also thinking abt 19thC John Ruskin's thoughts on 'plague clouds'/'plague winds'. Conceived painting as an excavation, like a geog slice or maybe it's a map? https://t.co/3jrEYEyYRU
The Big Draw was launched in 2000 by the Guild of St George to commemorate John Ruskin. An independent visual literacy charity since 2006, The Big Draw still upholds Ruskin's belief that drawing helps us to understand and see the world more clearly.

@hertskingfisher The shot on the left is just astonishing. And in its spareness, with just the kingfisher and branch, it also reminds me of Ruskin's lovely sketch in the Ashmolean.

Wishing everyone a very happy & festive Christmas time. At the end of this #Ruskin200 year, as we reflect on our divided politics & competing visions of economic, ecological & cultural good health, let us remember Ruskin's necessary & timely words: 'There is no wealth but life'.
As @Ruskin_LU opens its "Museum of the Near Future" exhibition, director Sandra Kemp, @MrJamesPickford and I talked about #JohnRuskin's legacy and importance today, for @ftpodcasts https://t.co/DgSZpUDdl8 #Ruskin200 #Ruskinland

‘I was able to cross the dry bed of a glacier, which I had seen flowing, two hundred feet deep, over the same spot, forty years ago.’ John Ruskin's warning about the dangers of industrialization are as relevant now as they were in the Victorian era https://t.co/rx0WKDikvJ
