Book Description

This book examines the impact of Roger Fry's writings and exhibitions on the development of modernism in Britain and beyond. It features essays by leading scholars in the field, and offers a new perspective on the history of modern art.

Fry was a critic, curator, and artist who played a key role in introducing modernism to Britain. His writings and exhibitions helped to shape the taste of the British public, and his ideas had a profound influence on the development of modern art in Britain and beyond.
