从约翰·罗斯金的一次演讲观其艺术思想的现代意义

The contemporary significance of John Ruskin's views on arts

作为1 9世纪英国最有影响的艺术批评家,约翰.罗斯金不仅在他的许多巨著中宣传他的艺术思想,也在他的政治性论文中,特别是在他的多次演讲中极力宣传和推广他的艺术主张。选读罗斯金《现代生产与设计》演讲,分析和探讨其艺术主张,可发现他的许多建议和忠告仍然具有不可忽视的现代意义。

John Ruskin,as one of the most influential critics of art and society in the nineteenth century England,expressed and propagandized his artistic theories not only in his artistic writings,but also in his political essays and his lectures.The present essay,choosing one of his lectures as an example,discusses the contemporary significance of Ruskin's artistic theories and propositions,and points out that many of Ruskin's ideas on arts are still very important and thought-provoking to people of the present day.
