Fry, Roger
|
Chatto and Windus, London

1923

VG/no DJ. minor cover wear, spine darkened a bit, cover and page ends also slightly so, Scarce early edition, source of American editions. Nice copy.The essays on painting, design, and the underlying principles of aesthetics that Roger Fry wrote over a period of twenty years, constitute landmarks in the development and appreciation of modern art. Vision and Design, though long out of print, has continued to be sought as the definitive collection of Fry's writings on the arts. By themselves, each essay is an integrated and thorough interpretation of its subject. Taken together they form a coherent doctrine which the introductory studies 'Art and Life' and 'An Essay in Aesthetics' serve to underscore. Fry discusses Cezanne, Renoir, Negro Sculpture, Ancient American Art, Giotto, Mohammedan Art, Durer, and many others..Illus. b&w. 14cm x 19.5cm, quarter cloth, 302pp.
