John Ruskin (8 February 1819 – 20 January 1900) was an English art critic and social thinker, also remembered as a poet and artist. His essays on art and architecture were extremely influential in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Ruskin first came to widespread attention for his support for the work of J. M. W. Turner and his defence of naturalism in art. He subsequently put his weight behind the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His later writings turned increasingly to complex and personal explorations of the interconnection of cultural, social and moral issues, and were influential on the development of Christian socialism. LifeEarly life and educationRuskin was born in London and raised in South London, the only child of a wine importer who co-founded the company that became Allied Domecq. He was educated at home and went on to study at King's College London and Christ Church, Oxford. At Oxford, he enrolled as a "gentleman-commoner", a class of students who were not expected to pursue a full course of study. His own studies were erratic, and he was often absent. However, he impressed the scholars of Christ Church after he won the Newdigate prize for poetry, his earliest interest. In consequence and despite a protracted period of serious illness, Oxford awarded him an honorary fourth-class degree. From Wikipedia under the

Would you care to name what you yourself became by your work Asked by Emory - Sun Apr 12 19:17:58 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I was a crew chief working on F-16 fighter jets in the Air Force and I grew a lot as a person while I was in the military. I became more focused, more dependable, team oriented, more mature, well traveled and experienced some things that changed me forever as a person. I experienced a lot of death at a young age, losing comrades in battle and accidents. I grew up fast and felt older physically and emotionally than my biological age. I still feel that way and have been told I am an "old soul". I have always worked with my hands as a mechanic and as an artist. I learned a lot and became a better person for having served my country and worked hard as a civilian as well. This is a great quote. Good question!

Perhaps this is why you haven't found much? Although he studied with Ruskin he is best known for Unwin & Allen, the publishing house. Try these links for starters!
