Synopsis

Roger Fry - A Biography de Virginia Woolf offre un portrait intime et perspicace de l'une des figures les plus influentes du monde de l'art britannique, Roger Eliot Fry (1866-1934).

En tant que peintre pionnier, critique et membre clé du groupe Bloomsbury, Fry a joué un rôle déterminant dans l'introduction de l'art moderne en Grande-Bretagne, inventant le terme « post-impressionnisme » et défendant les œuvres d'artistes comme Cézanne, Gauguin et Van Gogh. Dans cette biographie, Woolf capture l'essence de la vie et des contributions de Fry, mélangeant sa compréhension profonde de l'art avec son style littéraire renommé. Grâce au récit de Woolf, les lecteurs apprécient plus profondément l'impact de Fry sur le monde de l'art, ainsi que sa personnalité complexe et ses relations au sein du groupe Bloomsbury.

Cette édition comprend également l'essai de Woolf The Art of Biography, où elle réfléchit sur les défis et les nuances de l'écriture d'une histoire de vie, fournissant un contexte supplémentaire à son approche dans la documentation de la vie de Fry. Publiée par Read & Co. Great Essays, cette biographie classique est maintenant republiée avec une biographie spécialement commandée de Woolf.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

LONDON, April, 1940 DEAR VIRGINIA, Years ago, after one of those discussions upon the methods of the arts which illuminated his long and happy friendship with you, Roger suggested, half seriously, that you should put into practice your theories of the biographer's craft in a portrait of himself. When the time came for his life to be written some of us who were very close to him, thinking it would have been his wish as well as ours, asked you to undertake it, I have now begged to have this page to tell you of our gratitude to you for having accepted, and for having brought to completion a piece of work neither light nor easy. As the book is to have no formal preface may I here join with yours our thanks to all those who have allowed the use of letters and pictures in their possession. MARGERY FRY
