An interview with the Financial Times for their ‘News in Focus’ series as part of the bicentenary year of Ruskin’s birth, exploring the ongoing relevance of Ruskin’s ideas to the challenges of the 21st century and profiling the exhibition, ‘Ruskin: Museum of the Near Future’.
Abstract from FT
‘John Ruskin was a towering figure in the Victorian era: an art critic, social reformer and all round thinker who had a huge influence on British society. After his death he fell out of favour. Yet much of what he wrote about the nature of work and the importance of protecting the environment is relevant today. James Pickford discusses his legacy with Sandra Kemp, an academic who oversees the Ruskin collection at Lancaster University and Andrew Hill, management editor.’
