Roger Fry quotes
Roger Fry was an English artist, critic, and a key figure in the Bloomsbury Group. His advocacy for Post-Impressionism introduced groundbreaking European art to the British public. He significantly influenced modern art appreciation through his exhibitions and writings. Here are 11 of his quotes:
It was inevitable that artists should turn around and question the validity of the fundamental assumption that art aimed at representation; and the moment the question was fairly posed it became clear the pseudo scientific assumption that fidelity to appearance was the measure of art had no logical foundation.
Roger Fry
Art is an expression and stimulus to the imaginative life rather than a copy of actual life. Art appreciates emotion in and for itself. The artist, is the most constantly observant of his surroundings and the least affected by their intrinsic aesthetic value. As he contemplates a particular field of vision the aesthetically chaotic and accidental conjunction of forms and colours begin to crystallize into a harmony.
