Ruskin on Turnerかわき for largeness - しっかり掴む of terror |
|
WHAT WAS IT in William Turner's art that so immensely 逮捕（する）d John Ruskin that he almost 充てるd his life to the advocacy of it? Maybe he saw some of his own transformed 願望（する）s in the 作品 of the 広大な／多数の／重要な master of light, surf and 激しく揺する. I deliberately 避ける the modern 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 sublimation, since this mental 明言する／公表する neither was modern nor sublime, but 激しい as the 石／投石するs of Venice he also chose to 令状 about  and life surely taught Ruskin lessons as 厳しい as those 倫理学 of the dust he lectured the young girls at Winnington school about. Ruskin's life appears to us as a 悲劇の one. Living too の近くに to his Calvinist mother, he probably never really grew up mentally. After an unhappy love 事件／事情／状勢 with 広告èle Domecq at the age of 17, he turned to his 熟考する／考慮するs at Oxford, and began collecting pictures by Turner three years later. After 卒業 in 1842, Ruskin planned a 調書をとる／予約する in 弁護 of Turner, whose work had been mocked by the critics. |

The result was "Modern Painters", published in five 容積／容量s 1843-60. During those years Turner himself had died, at the age of 76 in 1851. He left behind some 300 絵s and 19,000 製図／抽選s and watercolors, that Ruskin cataloged.In 1848 Ruskin married Effie Gray, who later left him for one of the Pre-Raphaelites, John Everett Millais. にもかかわらず, Ruskin wrote a 調書をとる／予約する in 弁護 of this artistic movement, "Pre-Raphaelitism" (1851). Apart from "Modern Painters", his most famous 作品 are "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" (1849) and "The 石／投石するs of Venice" (three 容積／容量s 1851-53). Ruskin detested industrialism and also wrote several essays about social 改革（する） that were later collected in "Unto This Last" (1862). |

Another 青年 with a 厳しい mother fixation, who had wandered around the quays of Venice 熟考する／考慮するing its 中心存在s and faç広告s, was Marcel Proust. He admired Ruskin's writings to the extent that he translated one of the social essays, "Sesame and Lilies" (from 1865), into French. Proust wrote that after having read Ruskin "the universe 回復するd in my 注目する，もくろむs an immeasurable value."Although Proust had one of his characters in "Remembrances of Things Past", Bloch, （人命などを）奪う，主張する that Ruskin was but a "boring old man", it is 理解できる that Proust was fascinated by Ruskin's extreme perception 同様に as his ability to put it into words. And Ruskin's prose, 特に those texts written during his most unhappy years, flashes, roars and 泡，激怒することs with those 面s of the world he so adamantly had decided were those, and only those, he wished to see. /KET 公式文書，認める: "かわき for largeness - しっかり掴む of terror" is taken from the last paragraph of Ruskin's 公式文書，認めるs on "The Goddess of Discord in the Gardens of the Hesperides".
