	Notebook
		Fry was selective and he chose those exotic forms which seemed to him to have a bearing on the visual sensibility of the modern mind.
		Fry was not an aesthetician nor a philosopher; nor was he a psychologist or an art-historian.
		Fry, like Reynolds before him, stressed the notion that art was primarily concerned with the selection of types and not with imitation and that a painting was a structured artifact and not a random impression.

	Vision and Design: Roger Fry
		From 1905 to 1910, Fry was the Curator of Paintings for the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
		Fry’s paintings are true to nature and visions of the everyday, and favoured the landscape as subject (many have commented on the influence of Cézanne).
		Fry’s interest in the relationship of art and life can be seen in his painting of a French provincial market interior (1926-28) and the lithographs of church interiors produced in 1930.

		Fry sharply contrasts the realm of imagination to which art belongs as a contemplative, disinterested object from that of action, predicated on instincts and implicated in morality.
		Fry considers this an "ingenious analogy", but his cautious adoption of the phrase "psychological volumes" (which neither he nor Mauron would pursue further in their writings) fails to conceal that Mauron was signalling a point of departure from his mentor, and was soon to discard aesthetic emotion in his gradual path to psychoanalysis.
		Fry's belief that associative emotions, connected with content, are only added as bait for the layman, unatuned to significant form, is contrasted with Freud's contrary reckoning that perceptual pleasures are an "incitement premium", constituting the forepleasure in art, the climax being the satisfaction of fantasy-longings.

	Bloomsbury revised: a "postmodern" Roger Fry by Hilton Kramer
		Fry’s understanding of the relation of the modernist painters to the traditions that preceded and nurtured them is now something we take for granted, of course, but it was a highly controversial idea at the time.
		Fry became acquainted with Ryder’s paintings during his tenure as the curator of the Metropolitan Museum in New York in the first decade of the century.
		Fry was full of energy and imagination, and through his lectures, his pen, his gift for friendship, his gift for advocacy, he was able to preach a new doctrine, to become a magnet for younger painters, to bring the interests of the English into the international arena.

		Fry described Post-Impressionist art, in his Essay in Aesthetics first published in 1909, as 'the discovery of the visual language of the imagination'.
		Fry emphasised the importance of 'form', how a work looks, over 'content', what a work is about.
		Fry championed the work of Cézanne who experimented with colour and form at the expense of accurate perspective, and Van Gogh who wanted to paint emotional turmoil even if this meant distorting what he saw.

	Child Support Enforcement Div. v. Fry (11/22/96), 926 P 2d 1170
		In October 1993 the superior court found that Roger did not have the present ability to pay child support and held that the CIB payments were "to be credited to [Roger]." In November the State moved for relief from this order, arguing that CIB payments should not be counted as child support.
		Roger Fry argues that the State filed an earlier appeal on December 10, 1993, depriving the superior court of jurisdiction to enter the June 17, 1994, order which is the subject of the present appeal.
		Fry seems to argue that he is entitled to an enhanced fee because he, by allegedly pressing his case on behalf of other disabled obligors, is a public interest litigant and because our earlier ruling in Miller renders the State's position frivolous.

	Twentieth Century Literature: A "Need of Distance and Blue": Space, Color, and Creativity in To the Lighthouse - ...
		In C[acute{e}]zanne, Fry describes "plastic colour" as a "direct exponent of form" (17, 13); and in "Some Questions in Esthetics" (1926), he maintains that "our reaction to works of art is a reaction to a relation and not to sensations and objects or persons or events" (3).
		Fry saw texture as subsuming details in overall design: "The texture of the whole field of vision becomes so close that the coherence of the separate patches of tone and colour within each object is no stronger than the coherence with every other tone and colour throughout the field" (49).
		Fry admired the postimpressionist s' "attempt to express by pictorial and plastic form certain spiritual experiences" (Roger Fry 154), but his disjunction of "the spaceless world of psychological entities and relations" from the plastic world of "spatial relations" (Fry, "Some Questions" 23) is the effect of extreme formalism.

	Roger Fry & the Post-Impressionist
		In November of 1910 Roger Fry, art historian and critic, put together a show of impressionist painters that had remained rather obscure from the public eye.
		All had their roots in Impressionism, but all had felt that the emotion of art had been neglected in the search for the "truth" of impression of light on an object.
		With the exception of Cézanne, both Gaugin, and Van Gogh were mostly unrecognized when they were doing their work, the vanguard of art, as Fry saw it in 1910, wanted something solid and enduring that these three had already achieved.
