Roger Fry was a prominent art critic and member of the group of liberal minded writers, thinkers, and artists known as the Bloomsbury Group. Like many in this elite circle, he was an advocate of French art and promoted the radical transformation of pictorial representation undertaken by artists including Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso. In 1910 and 1912, he organized two influential exhibitions that introduced modern French art to a British public and inspired a generation of young artists to embrace modernism. This work draws on impressionist and postimpressionist innovations in color perception in the carefully applied patches of color that animate the scene and create texture and depth.\n\n Gallery label for installation of YCBA collection, 2020
