About
The first major exhibition in over 25 years dedicated to Roger Fry as a painter, unveiling a lesser-known aspect of one of the most influential figures in 20th-century British art.
Best known for his work as an art critic, writer, and curator, Fry was instrumental in bringing Post-Impressionism to England. His 1910 and 1912 exhibitions at the Grafton Galleries in London, featuring Cézanne, Matisse, Van Gogh, and others, were revolutionary. They introduced a shocked British public to this bold new movement, helping to ignite the modernist era in Britain and forever changing the course of British art.
This exhibition features Fry’s vibrant portraits, landscapes, and interiors, capturing the essence of his time in Paris during the 1920s. Showcasing never-before-seen artworks from private collections alongside national treasures, the exhibition highlights Fry’s innovative use of colour and his concept of ‘significant form,’ key to his artistic philosophy.
In partnership with Philip Mould & Company, London and The Museum of Somerset, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see Fry’s paintings in a new light.
