Whistler v Ruskin: Flinging a Pot of Paint in the Public's FaceSpeaker: Alan Read
The famous trial in 1878 between artist and critic became one of the first great public debates in Britain about modern art. This lecture looks at the issues and personalities involved in this famous court-room drama, how their animosity divided the art world and the extent to which it can be argued that the outcome of the trial ruined both Whistler and Ruskin.
