Fry, English art critic and painter and champion of modern French schools of art introduced Cezanne and the postimpressionists to England. From 1905 to 1910 he was curator of paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1933 he was made Slade Professor of Fine Arts at Cambridge. Interested in all eras, he consistently stressed the importance of analyzing the formal qualities within a work of art. His biography was written by Virginia Woolf in 1940. This volume contains his influential work on Cezanne, who today is regarded as one of the great forerunners of modern painting, both for the way he evolved of putting down on canvas exactly what his eye saw in nature and for the qualities of pictorial form that he achieved through a unique treatment of space, mass, and color.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
