Event Summary
Event Description
Best known for his work as an art critic, writer, and curator, Fry was instrumental in bringing Post-Impressionism to England. His 1910 and 1912 exhibitions at the Grafton Galleries in London, featuring C zanne, Matisse, Van Gogh, and others, were revolutionary. They introduced a shocked British public to this bold new movement, helping to ignite the modernist era in Britain and forever changing the course of British art.
This exhibition features Fry's vibrant portraits, landscapes, and interiors, capturing the essence of his time in Paris during the 1920s. Showcasing never-before-seen artworks from private collections alongside national treasures, the exhibition highlights Fry's innovative use of colour and his concept of 'significant form,' key to his artistic philosophy.
In partnership with Philip Mould & Company, London and The Museum of Somerset, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see Fry's paintings in a new light.

About Charleston
Charleston was a gathering point for some of the 20th century’s most radical artists, writers and thinkers known collectively as the Bloomsbury group. It is where they came together to imagine society differently, and has always been a place where art and experimental thinking are at the centre of everyday life.
Today, we present a dynamic year-round programme of exhibitions, events and festivals that highlight the power of art, in all its forms, to provoke new ways of thinking and living.
