Artists Gordon Dalton & S Mark Gubb went on a road trip through America as the basis of their exhibition at Castlefield Gallery. The third and final instalment of an unrelated trilogy, Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere follows Dalton & Gubb’s previous encounters in the Battle of Forest Hills and the Memphis Preacher radio rants of Kick Out The Jams.
This talk illustrates the life and work of John Ruskin (1819-1900), one of the dominating cultural figures of the nineteenth century, famous for books including Modern Painters, The Stones of Venice and Unto This Last. As well as detailing his work as a draughtsman, art critic and supporter of artists including J.M.W. Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites, it will also describe his engagement with social and economic issues, and contact with contemporaries such as Thomas Carlyle, William Morris and Charles Darwin.
