Source text - English John Ruskin
(London, 1819 – Coniston, 1900)
[...]
During his formative years, painters such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were at the peak of their careers. In 1833, Ruskin discovered the work of Turner whom he met and befriended, and whose late work he soon defended and explained in his writings. Turner – who was a member of the Royal Academy – had been attacked by Neoclassical critics for failing to represent the “general truth”. In 1843, Ruskin went on to publish the first volume of Modern Painters, one of his major works that would eventually consist of five volumes and occupy him for the next 17 years. In a prose style peculiarly well adapted to the discussion of the visual arts, he argued that modern landscape painters were superior to Neoclassical Masters who, according to him, lacked of attention to natural truth. Ruskin’s first major achievement was to bring the assumptions of Romanticism to the practice of art criticism and to the understanding of the public who was thus introduced to the possibility of enjoying and collecting art. By this time, he had become the most famous cultural theorist of his days.

Durant ses années de formation, des peintres comme J.M.W. Turner et John Constable étaient à l’apogée de leurs carrières. En 1833, Ruskin découvrit le travail de Turner qu’il rencontra et dont il devint l’ami. Plus tard, il défendit ses dernières œuvres et s’empressa de les expliquer dans ses écrits. Turner – qui était membre de la Royal Academy – avait subi les attaques de certains critiques néoclassiques qui lui reprochaient son incapacité à représenter une « vérité d’ordre général ». En 1843, Ruskin publia son premier volume des Peintres Modernes, l’une de ses œuvres majeures qui allait finir par constituer cinq volumes et l’occuper pendant les 17 années suivantes. Dans une prose d’un style particulièrement bien adapté au débat sur les arts visuels, il soutenait que les peintres de paysage modernes étaient supérieurs aux maîtres néoclassiques qui, selon lui, ne s’attachaient pas suffisamment à rendre la vérité naturelle. L’une des premières réussites de Ruskin fut d’appliquer les principes du Romantisme à l’exercice de la critique d’art et de les porter à la compréhension du public qui se voyait ainsi offrir la possibilité de jouir des œuvres d’art et de les collectionner. A cette époque, il était devenu le plus célèbre théoricien de la culture de son temps.
