Synopsis
In the first decades of the 20th century, the art critic Roger Fry introduced English-speaking audiences to modern French art and formalist aesthetic theory. this text, edited by Christopher Reed, brings together for the first time a comprehensive selection of Fry's essays. Most appear here for the first time since their original publication in scholarly journals and art magazines, while some have never been published before. Representing 40 years of engagement with the arts, the essays cover a broad spectrum of topics, from Fry's influential promotion of Post-Impressionism to art education, museums, architecture, decorative art, and the implications of literature and dance for the visual arts. Reed also provides valuable historical background and considers Fry's legacy for the present.

First Sentence
BECAUSE Fry's name is so strongly associated with the promotion of Post-Impressionism in the early teens, it is easy to forget that he was forty-three years old in 1910, when his first groundbreaking exhibition of modern art opened in London. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages
