John Ruskin (a.); Bill Beckley (intro.). Long-out-of-print, The Laws of Fesole looks at painting at the very beginnings of the Modern movement. In it John Ruskin offers criticism, appreciation, & instruction for artists. The Laws, first published in 4 parts from 1877 to 1879, describe the principles of line & color employed at the dawn of the Renaissance. This new edition includes 42 B&W illustrations, a biographical note about Ruskin, & an introduction by artist Beckley. Ruskin (1819-1900) was the most influential art critic of the 19th cent. A watercolorist, botanist, Romantic, & a poet, among other things, his writings integrate the aesthetic experience with moral purpose & ecology.
