Publication commemorating the exhibition "The art of seeing: John Ruskin and the Victorian eye, " organized by the Phoenix Art Museum and presented at Phoenix and at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1993.

Landow--Ruskin and the art of drawing / Christopher Newall--Heartsight deep as eyesight: Ruskin's aspirations for modern art / Susan Phelps Gordon--Sermons in stone: Ruskin and geology / Anthony Lacy Gully--"The germ of a museum: arranged first for 'workers in iron'": Ruskin's museologicial theories and the curating of the Saint George's Museum / Susan P. Casteras. The six essays gathered in this book present an engaging look at the art and ideas of Victorian art critic John Ruskin, considered by many to be the greatest tastemaker of his time. Ruskin first came to fame in the 1840s for his articulate, impassioned defense of the paintings of J.M.W. Turner; later he championed the efforts of Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Elizabeth Siddal. As a lecturer at the University of Oxford and founder of the Saint George's Museum in Sheffield, England, Ruskin strove to instill in his followers a respect for craftsmanship and reverence for historic monuments. He actively promoted art education for all classes of people and spoke out continually against the social ills of his day. Ruskin believed that an artist's true gift was the power to see and to communicate moral as well as physical realities, and that insistence on the "art of seeing" serves as a unifying thread throughout the essays in this book, each of which addresses a different aspect of the critic's art and thought.
