Description: (Artist and art critic)
Roger Fry was a prominent English painter, critic, and a significant figure in the Bloomsbury Group. He was known for his expertise on the Old Masters and his advocacy for Post-Impressionism in French painting, which played a crucial role in shaping public perception of modern art in Britain. By prioritizing formal qualities over representational content, Fry had a profound impact on art appreciation and taste. Credited with reshaping artistic preferences in the Anglophone world, he was instrumental in introducing the latest avant-garde developments from Paris to educated audiences.
