Publisher's Synopsis
With the aging of Postmodernism, artists and academics are reappraising the aesthetics of Modernism. In this timeless classic, Ruskin offers criticism, appreciation, and instruction for artists at the very beginnings of the Modern movement. Long out-of-print, this edition includes a biographical note about Ruskin and a new introduction by artist Bill Beckley who teaches semiotics at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
