Published in 1859, this volume contains Ruskin's lectures on art and its application to decoration and manufacture, in which he seeks to bridge the gap between aesthetic theory and practical application in daily economic life. He also explores his theory that contented individuals create good art, while corrupt people’s art is inherently second-rate.
