{"product_id":"the-art-of-ruskin-and-john-dixon-hunt-9781789142761","title":"The Art of Ruskin and the Spirit of Place","description":"English art critic John Ruskin was one of the great visionaries of his time, and his influential books and letters on the power of art challenged the foundations of Victorian life. He loved looking. Sometimes it informed the things he wrote, but often it provided access to the many topographical and cultural topics he explored--rocks, plants, birds, Turner, Venice, the Alps. In \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Ruskin and the Spirit of Place\u003c\/i\u003e, John Dixon Hunt focuses for the first time on what Ruskin drew, rather than wrote, offering a new perspective on Ruskin's visual imagination. Through analysis of more than 150 drawings and sketches, many reproduced here, he shows how Ruskin's art shaped his writings, his thoughts, and his sense of place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dixon Hunt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789142768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789142761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"John Dixon Hunt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995879670015,"sku":"9781789142761","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_565e261d-f90d-4ef3-80ef-043f29599d1a.jpg?v=1683338399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-ruskin-and-john-dixon-hunt-9781789142761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
