Subject: Fry, Roger Eliot (1866-1934) --Exhibitions --Criticism and interpretation --Art, Modern --20th century --Great Britain. Summary: The leading critic of contemporary art writing in English in the first half of the twentieth century, Roger Fry defined what made art modern in Britain and America. It was Fry who coined the term "Post-Impressionism" and created a sensation in London with two shows of the new art from France in 1910 and 1912. Fry was an extraordinarily versatile figure - a popularizer and scholar, art historian and art scribe, exhibiting painter and museum curator, restorer and impresario, member of the establishment and rebel, thinker and doer. He worked on both sides of the Atlantic, in London and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Voir moins
