Exhibition of Ruskin's Work in Fogg

An exhibition of drawings, sketches, and etchings by John Ruskin is being held in the Upper Gallery of the Fogg Art Museum, in memory of Charles Eliot Norton '46. The collection illustrates the intimate friendship of Ruskin and Norton, which extended over a period of more than forty years. The various specimens show Ruskin's workmanship in pencil, wash, and water color, and the exhibit includes some of his remarkable architectural drawings, hasty sketches of landscape, and careful and detailed studies from nature.

Most of the drawings are lent by members of Professor Norton's family. The others, which belong to the University, were chosen chiefly by Professor Norton for the Department of Fine Arts.
