Ruskin, Turner & the Storm Cloud Suzanne Fagence Cooper
Event details
Join Suzanne Fagence Cooper of York Art Gallery for a curator’s tour of the Ruskin, Turner & the Storm Cloud: Watercolours and Drawings exhibition.
Running until 23 June 2019, the exhibition celebrates Ruskin’s 200th birthday and considers the eloquent critical relationship John Ruskin (1819-1900) had with the landscapes of J M W Turner (1775-1851). Join Suzanne and learn more about this vibrant artistic relationship.
View watercolours and drawings on loan from museums including Tate, the Ashmolean and Manchester, and discover how the the exhibition encourages us to explore links between art, the environment and well-being.
