"The drawings selected in this book from a distinguished private collection reveal new facets of a drawing activity that was clearly much more than a research tool. They provide a cross section of works requiring attention as expressions of a remarkable artistic talent offering many parallels with the freedom and individuality of the twentieth century. But Ruskin's drawing cannot be considered simply as the produce of a keen eye and highly developed aesthetic sense. His mind was always engaged as he drew and it is an important aim of this book to trace the memories, theories, passions and convictions associated with the subjects he chose to depict."
