Roger Fry Bücher
Roger Fry war ein englischer Künstler und Kunstkritiker, der die britische Kunstwahrnehmung maßgeblich prägte. Nachdem er sich als Kenner der Alten Meister etabliert hatte, wurde er zu einem entscheidenden Verfechter der modernen französischen Malerei, der er den Begriff Post-Impressionismus gab. Fry's kritischer Ansatz legte den Schwerpunkt auf die formalen Elemente der Kunst – Linie, Farbe, Komposition – gegenüber den 'assoziativen Ideen', die durch den dargestellten Inhalt hervorgerufen wurden. Sein Einfluss auf den britischen Kunstgeschmack war so bedeutend, dass er als die größte Kraft bei der Veränderung der ästhetischen Wertschätzung seit Ruskin gilt.
Giovanni Bellini is being published for the first time since 1901. Highly popular at the time of its original publication (three editions were published between 1899 and 1901), Roger Fry's monograph was instrumental in rescuing Bellini from the oblivion of a Victorian-era reputation by reinterpreting and revaluing his art for an early twentieth-century audience. Giving a succinct but definitive view of Bellini's career, Fry not only brought to bear the new "scientific" connoisseurship in his analysis of individual pictures and their chronology, but he also brought a keen interest into Bellini's innovative use of semi-transparent oil glazes, the psychological depth of his subjects, and Bellini's profound sensitivity to nature. As a painter himself, Fry had the critical advantage of studying Bellini with a sympathy deepened by his own close awareness of aesthetic problems
