Whistler v Ruskin: Flinging a pot of paint in the public's face

The famous trial in 1878 between artist and critic became one of the first great public debates in Britain about modern art.  This lecture examines the issues and personalities involved in the courtroom drama, how their animosity divided the art world and the extent to which the outcome ruined both Whistler and Ruskin.
