Roger Fry Ordre des livres
Roger Fry fut un artiste et critique d'art anglais qui façonna profondément la perception britannique de l'art. Tout en établissant sa réputation d'érudit des Maîtres anciens, il devint un défenseur essentiel de la peinture française moderne, dont il forgea le terme Post-Impressionnisme. L'approche critique de Fry privilégiait les éléments formels de l'art – ligne, couleur, composition – par rapport aux 'idées associées' évoquées par le sujet représenté. Son influence sur le goût britannique fut si considérable qu'il est considéré comme la plus grande force ayant changé l'appréciation esthétique depuis Ruskin.

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
