Product Description

Product Description

Roger Fry (1866-1934) was among the most influential figures in the art world this century, primarily responsible for bringing the post-Impressionist movement to Britain, and an artist in his own right. Virginia Woolf wrote this tribute to him after his death.

About the Author

Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882, the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen, first editor of the Dictionary of National Biography. From 1915, when she published her first novel, The Voyage Out, Virginia Woolf maintained an astonishing output of fiction, literary criticism, essays and biography. In 1912 she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1017 they founded the Hogarth Press. She suffered a series of mental breakdowns throughout her life, and on 28th March 1941 she committed suicide.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting life well told by his friend, 25 Sep 2006
By c westwood (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Roger Fry (Vintage Lives) (Paperback)
This is not only the description of an interesting life lived, but also a fine example of Woolf's non-fiction, complete with her distinctive tone. The tale she tells of her friend's life is a partial one, and her warmth for him shines through the narrative.

Most inspiring is his tireless quest to truly understand painting, heading backwards and forwards across Europe again and again to see and reinterpret the great works.

His life touched the peripheries of many other important ones, and as such it acts as a useful guide to some of the key events and personalities of this period. The only thing noticeably lacking - and this is of course understandable given the date it was first published - is historical contextualization. Worth reading in tandem with Frances Spalding's biography.
