loading . . . Ruskinâs Timeless Call: A Conversation with Guild of St. George companion Lefteris Heretakis on Art, Design, and Education In an era captivated by fleeting trends and hollow profits, the voice of John Ruskin, the 19th-century artist, writer, and social critic, resonates with striking clarity. His words, steeped in a reverence for truth, beauty, and justice, offer a compass for navigating our fragmented world. I recently spoke with Companion Lefteris Heretakis, a designer, educator, and podcaster based in Valencia, Spain, whose 30 year career in visual communication design and higher education has been profoundly shaped by Ruskinâs teachings. Drawing on The Elements of Drawing and The Seven Lamps of Architecture, Lefteris shared a vision for revitalising art and design education, urging us to heed Ruskinâs call: âThere is no wealth but life.â Our conversation revealed how Ruskinâs principles can guide us towards a future rooted in ethical imagination and quiet, meaningful action. http://newartschool.education/2025/09/01/ruskins-timeless-call-a-conversation-with-guild-of-st-george-companion-lefteris-heretakis-on-art-design-and-education/
