Unto This Last: Two Hundred Years of John Ruskin
Yale Center for British Art
September 5 – December 8, 2019
Reviewed by Ed Voves
A controversial book of the mid-1800's provides the title for a major exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art. Unto This Last was a book of four essays, published in 1862, on the nature of society, economics and human welfare. The author was a celebrated figure in the British art world, John Ruskin.
Originally appearing in a popular journal, Ruskin's essays proclaimed a message which challenged the "free market" economic system of Victorian Britain. Targeting the selfishness and hypocrisy of Britain's ruling class, Ruskin proclaimed:
"There is no wealth but life."
That is not what most of Ruskin's readers expected him to say.
Unto this Last took its title from the parable of Jesus, "The Workers in the Vineyard" (Matthew 20: 1-16).

Timo Sarpaneva SoldFinland For Iittala Clear glass blown into a carbonised wood mould.H 22.5 / ∅ 18 cm
Note: "Glass was poured or blown into the molds and allowed to remain long enough for the molds to burn, thereby roughening the surfaces. Each time the mold was blown into, the grain texture changed causing each object in the Finlandia series to be unique although mold-blown. The molds were gradually, and intentionally, destroyed through repeated contact with glass heated to 500 °C (932 F). The changing surface gave each piece a natural randomized "bark" effect created by the carbonized wood, which could not oth•
