1927. 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.
