He was described by the art historian Kenneth Clark as "incomparably the greatest influence on taste since Ruskin... In so far as taste can be changed by one man, it was changed by Roger Fry". ...more

“J.S. Bach almost persuades me to be a Christian.”

“He had perforce but the vaguest idea of how the older masters understood the working out of those grand constructions in which the plastic movements follow one another in an unbroken and ever varied sequence throughout the whole of the picture-space—constructions which stimulate the imagination to the freest movements”
