The Influence of John Ruskin on the Teaching of Drawing in Brazil: How His Spatial Way of Thinking Affects Architecture and Painting
Amaral, Claudio Silveira

Description

This text is the first to examine Ruskin’s architecture as but one product, along with his political and philosophical views, of his internal logic. The text further examines the influence of that logic on Brazil’s industrialization efforts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
