SynopsisTells the forgotten story of the influence of the British writer and critic John Ruskin on a group of American painters and collectors during the late 19th century., The Last Ruskinians : Charles Eliot Norton, Charles Herbert Moore, and Their Circle tells the forgotten story of the influence of the British writer and critic John Ruskin on a group of American painters and collectors during the late 19th century. Ruskin's influence in the U.S. was largely disseminated by the legendary Charles Eliot Norton (the nation's first professor of art history, who taught at Harvard from 1874 to 1898), and through his associate, Charles Herbert Moore. The exhibition consists almost exclusively of watercolors - Ruskin's favorite medium. Displaying Ruskin's philosophy of 'truth to nature' in art, the works include botanicals, architectural details, landscapes, views of Venice, and copies after antique, medieval, and Renaissance art. Included are ten works by Ruskin himself, all drawn from the Harvard collections, and an equal number by his friend Moore, a Harvard drawing instructor and the Fogg Art Museum's first director. Also represented are works by Henry Roderick Newman, an American in Florence whose art was widely admired, and works by a second generation of American Pre-Raphaelite painters, including Joseph Lindon Smith, Harold B. Warren, and George H. Hallowell. One catalog essay discusses the influence in the U.S. of Ruskin and of Norton, who helped to shape the collecting of some of Boston's greatest connoisseurs and collectors, including Isabella Stewart Gardner, Bernard Berenson, and Denman W. Ross. The other essays explore Charles Herbert Moore's life, his little-known but exquisite watercolors, and his contribution to the teaching of art and art history, using Ruskin's methodology in his courses at Harvard.
