A Joy For Ever - John Ruskin - Bog

A Joy For Ever: And Its Price In The Market is a book written by John Ruskin, a prominent art critic and social thinker of the Victorian era. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between art, beauty, and economics. Ruskin argues that true art is not something that can be bought and sold like a commodity, but rather something that is created for its own sake, as a source of joy and inspiration. He laments the commercialization of art and the way in which it has become a status symbol for the wealthy, rather than a means of enriching the soul. The book is a passionate plea for a return to a more authentic and meaningful relationship with art, one that values creativity, beauty, and spiritual enrichment over profit and prestige. Ruskin's insights into the nature of art and its place in society continue to be relevant today, making A Joy For Ever a timeless classic of art criticism and social commentary.Being The Substance With Additions Of Two Lectures On The Political Economy Of Art, Delivered At Manchester, July 10th And 13th 1857.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
