To celebrate the centenary of the death of John Ruskin in 2000, the Ruskin School of Art organised an exhibition of Ruskin’s drawings of landscape at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology in Oxford.
The show was devised and selected by Denis Cosgrove, Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Geography at the University of California at Los Angeles and represented a continuation of his research into the geocentric work of Ruskin, which he began in the late 1970s.
Commissioned by the Ruskin School of Art in collaboration with the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology and supported by funding from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Southern Arts.
