Unto This Last: Two Hundred Years of John Ruskin (opening 10 March 2020 at Watts Gallery) examines the legacy of one of the most influential thinkers of the nineteenth century, as an artist, social reformer, ecological thinker and educator. In addition to a core group of Ruskin's drawings and publications, the exhibition features works by J. M. W. Turner, John Everett Millais, Edward Burne-Jones and other leading artists of the nineteenth century, many of which have rarely been exhibited in the United Kingdom before. Travelling to Watts Gallery from the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA), New Haven, this object-rich exhibition features paintings, drawings, rare books and manuscripts from the collections at the YCBA, Yale University Library and Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library-together representing one of the most important repositories of Ruskin's work in the United States.
