Fésole Club Papers by Collingwood
Fésole Club Papers by W. G. Collingwood
Originally published as a series of letters through the Parent’s Review and later collected into a book by the original author, this art correspondence course encourages careful observation of nature and every-day life. Collingwood (friend and assistant to John Ruskin) awakens the artist in his readers with minimal instruction by directing their attention in their own observations of their individual surroundings.
“The Fésole Club was only a little quiet corner, into which a few old-fashioned folk had withdrawn, with some young people whose country lives kept them out of the busy world of the studios. In this our Arden, exempt from public ambitions and modern aims, we found sermons in stones, unashamed: and asked not to be famous painters, but only reverent lovers of Art, and humble followers of Nature.” (from The Fésole Club Papers)
This edition includes a new forward by Dallas Nachtigall. For more information on the Fésole Club Project, visit www.bestowingthebrush.com
