How to See Clearly: Why Ruskin Matters with Dr. Suzanne Fagence Cooper
from ARTIDOTE · host Vashik Armenikus
In our age of immediacy John Ruskin’s ideas remain important more than ever. He can teach us how to see beauty, how to gain control over attention span and how to genuinely care about nature. He was a visionary who predicted many of the challenges we are facing today, such as climate change and culture of distraction. Through his writings we can learn how to become better and live in harmony with the word. In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Suzanne Fagence Cooper, who wrote a brilliant biography of Ruskin. It is a wonderful introduction to his work for those, who like me, did not know where to start reading his works. What would Ruskin think of modern architecture? What would be his advice to us on how to live a meaningful life? These are just two of many questions I asked Dr. Fagence Cooper in this episode. 📌 DR.
