'John Ruskin' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Effie Gray (2014)

Actors

Plot
In "Effie Gray" Dakota Fanning plays the title character, Euphemia "Effie" Gray, wife of the 19th century's greatest art historian and critic, John Ruskin (Greg Wise). Ruskin's sexual dysfunction and his wife's sexual innocence and inexperience in the repressed atmosphere of Victorian England are further complicated by Effie's affair with pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais (Tom Sturridge) after Effie poses for the artist and falls in love with him. Author and art historian Lady Elizabeth Eastlake (Emma Thompson, who wrote the screenplay), Effie's friend and champion, encourages her to seek an annulment from her husband. In order to prove non-consummation of the marriage, Effie is forced to undergo a physical examination that confirms her virginity after five years of marriage to Ruskin. During the trial, which creates a scandal and more discussion than the ongoing Crimean War, a doctor (Robbie Coltrane) testifies that the plaintiff is a virgin. The physical examination and embarrassing courtroom testimony about her intimate life induces a psychosomatic paralysis that lasts 10 days. The judge rules in Effie's favor, citing her husband's "incurable impotency." While her internationally renowned husband continues his busy professional and social life, Effie, a spirited, outgoing woman, is ousted from society and forbidden to attend any event where Queen Victoria is present. Her ostracism is alleviated by her marriage to Millais, with whom she will eventually have eight children.

Famous quotes by John Ruskin:

"To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education."

"When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."

"Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them."

"The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power"

"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort."

"The entire object of true education, is to make people not merely do the right thing, but to enjoy right things; not merely industrious, but to love industry; not merely learned, but to love knowledge."

"In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: they must be fit for it; they must not do too much of it; and they must have a sense of success in it."

"There is nothing in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and he who considers price only is that man's lawful prey."

"There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey."

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."

"Large fortunes are all founded either on the occupation of land, or lending or the taxation of labor."

"Taste is the only morality. Tell me what you like and I'll tell you what you are."

"Men don't and can't live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. They don't live by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions; and take that of laborers Unions."

"Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade."

"It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect."

"Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time."

"The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it."

"Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride."

"All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent."

"The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it."

Peggy Macnamara John Ruskin Bird Composition Watercolors

Duration: 2:44
Updated: 15 Nov 2013

Peggy Macnamara ,Artist-in-Residence at the Field Museum , incorporates John Ruskin 9 laws of Compositions into a wonderful Bird Composition Series. Published in 1857, In the third chapter, Letter III, On Colour and Composition, Ruskin introduces his nine laws of composition. Macnamara refers to these laws as a sort of checklist for what is right in a composition. Still, when painting flocks of birds, she adjusts the compositions to suit her sensibilities. But nothing works as well as when she remains true to the flock's particular choreography. As she finishes each piece Macnamara discovers that each arrangement adheres to one or more of Ruskin's Laws of composition. She knows they flock in certain ways to save energy and insure the success of the species, not to please the viewer. The birds just seem to get it right! www.peggymacnamara.com

Ruskin collection @ Sheffield museum. Millennium Gallery

Duration: 7:40
Updated: 17 Dec 2013

Ruskin collection @ Sheffield museum. Millennium Gallery 28 09 2013 www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/museums/millennium-gallery/exhibitions/current/ruskin-collection Discover a collection created for Sheffield's workers over 130 years ago; a collection designed to inspire creativity and to be a haven from the busy workday world. John Ruskin, who formed this collection, was a Victorian writer who searched passionately for beauty in the world around him. He explored nature from the smallest pebble to the mightiest landscape and examined art from the daintiest brush stroke to soaring architectural structures. During his lifetime,England's manufacturing cities expanded and became wealthy, whilst their workforces lived in poverty and grime. Workers had little to inspire them. Ruskin wanted to counter this imbalance and set up the Guild of St George, a philanthropic society. Through the Guild, Ruskin founded a museum specifically for Sheffield's workers. He filled it with a collection of artworks, illustrated books and minerals, all chosen to reflect his exploration of beauty. Originally sited at Walkley, just outside the city centre, visitors could escape the smoke that surrounded them and immerse themselves in nature and art. Today, though the Ruskin Collection is exhibited in the city centre, it is still displayed and used as the creative and inspirational tool that Ruskin intended. Visitors to the Ruskin Collection will see a broad range of exhibits, including early renaissance art, gothic architecture, engravings, mosaic decoration, illustrations of birds, flowers, insects, geological specimens, illustrated books and medieval manuscripts. The items on display from the Ruskin Collection are changed twice each year. Explore the collection through the changing displays, and find out if you share Ruskin's thoughts on beauty. The Millennium Gallery is an art gallery and museum in the centre of Sheffield, England. Opened in April 2001 as part of Sheffield's Heart of the City project, it is located in the city centre close to the mainline station, the Central Library and Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield Hallam University, and Sheffield Theatres. Designed by architects Pringle Richards Sharratt, the building is primarily made from concrete and glass, with a series of galleries extending from a central avenue, which connects Arundel Gate with Sheffield Winter Garden. In 2011, the gallery was listed as the 15th most-visited free attraction in the country by Visit England.[1] It is managed by Museums Sheffield. The gallery has two permanent collections, two temporary exhibition spaces, space for corporate events and weddings, and a cafe and shop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Gallery
