The answer to yesterday's question was #Ruskin!
This is a rare opportunity to view the club's Ruskin watercolours - the first time they've been shown in the UK since the club moved to Charlotte Rd.
Starting on the 14th April - bit.ly/4svpvds
(The librarian will also have some books on display)
Even when the day withdraws into greyness, Brantwood does not. Its light is of another kind, drawn from the lake, the woods, and the quiet labour of beauty. A single hour here can restore the spirit at any time.

What a magnificent sight. Ruskin would have loved this ridgeline. Not only for its dramatic form, but for the way mountain, meadow, and cloud work together in what he called “the architecture of the earth.” A reminder that true beauty lies where nature is left to shape itself.

Ruskin argued that modernity creates both the sorrow and the salves we reach for. Whether in 1889 or 2026, the search for a “good jacket” is really a search for steadiness. True remedy lies in the conditions of life that produce the melancholy, not the jacket that momentarily softens it.

Marie Nordlinger (1876–1961): Proust’s Muse from Manchester by Cynthia Gamble traces the life of the Manchester‑born artist, linguist and close friend of Marcel Proust. Nordlinger assisted him with translating Ruskin’s The Bible of Amiens and Sesame and Lilies, and their long correspondence reveals her influence on his work. Trained in Manchester and Paris, she worked as a sculptor, joined Siegfried Bing’s gallery, and was even sent alone to the US to negotiate art contracts. Her life was marked by upheaval: marriage to art historian Rudolf Meyer‑Riefstahl, exile and financial loss during WWI, and the later death of her son in WWII. A resilient, pioneering figure, she remained devoted to Franco‑British cultural exchange and was awarded the Légion d’honneur in 1957.
Artist. Sculptor. Polyglot.
Translator of Ruskin with Marcel Proust.
Discover the extraordinary life of Marie Nordlinger (1876–1961), the “Parisienne from Manchester”, in Dr Cynthia Gamble’s superb new biography.

On the eve of meteorological spring @robincooper1.bsky.social went searching for it on the shores of Coniston, a place forever touched by Ruskin’s eye.
A lovely reminder that the season often arrives in small, quiet signs.

My Blogposting about Whistlers painting and trial in English:
James McNeill Whistler went to trial against art critic John Ruskin over his "Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket". Ruskin defamed this painting. Whistler won the trial - but went bancrupt nevertheless.

Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.

Very pleased to be leading a group to Switzerland again this year:
staying in Bern, and visiting outstanding art collections in Basel and Luzern.
Plus scenic trains along the lakes and up into the mountains - hopefully we will see Grindelwald.
