ROGER FRY (BRITISH 1866-1934) THE ROUND TABLE Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1920 (lower right) 76 x 69.5cm (29¾ x 27¼ in.)Provenance: The Mayor Gallery, London Exhibited: London, Courtauld Institute Gallery, Portraits of Roger Fry, 18 September - 14 October 1976, no.22; this exhibition travelled to Sheffield, Mappin Art Gallery, 23 October - 21 November 1976 London, The Belgrave Gallery, Masters of Modern British Painting, 1977, no.1Literature:F. Birrell and D. Garnett, Some Contemporary English Artists, London, 1921, (Illustrated)R. Shone, Bloomsbury Portraits, London, 1976 (Illustrated plate 118, p. 197)R. Shone, The Art of Bloomsbury: Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, London, 1999, p.205, fig.120D. Edwards, Winter Sonata, Virago Modern Classics, London, (front cover illustration)J. Rolls, The Bloomsbury Cookbook, London, 2014, p.232 (illus.) In the Spring of 1920, Roger Fry visited in Vence, staying at Maison Barrière with friends and fellow artists. Amongst this group were the sculptor Marcel Gimond and his wife Julie, both depicted in the present work. Gimond created a number of portrait busts of Fry in the early 1920s. An example of which is now held in London's National Portrait Gallery. The third figure present in Fry's painting, playing a guitar, is the illustrator and Post-Impressionist artist Sonia Lewitska. Lewitska was married to Fry's close friend Jean Marchand. Although present in a small oil sketch of the same scene he is not depicted in the present work. Fry admired Jean Marchand, including his work in both of his groundbreaking exhibitions held at the Grafton Galleries; Manet and the Post-Impressionists, 1910 and The Second Post Impressionist Exhibition, 1912. Through their friendship Marchand became closely associated with the Bloomsbury Group and Fry even dedicated a whole chapter in his 1920 book of essays Vision and Design, observing his move away from cubism; "Having once learned by this process of willed and deliberate analysis how to handle complex forms, he has been able to throw away the scaffolding and to construct palpably related and completely unified designs with something approaching the full complexity of natural forms, through the lucid statement and ease of handling which it actuates testify to the effect of his apprenticeship in Cubism." (R.Fry, Vision and Design, London, 1920, p.282) Although Fry wrote this about the work of Jean Marchand one cannot help but feel that he could have had in mind his fellow Bloomsbury artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant after only recently closing the doors on the Omega Workshop due to lack of funds. Condition Report: The canvas has been relined. Ultraviolet light reveals scattered retouching to the extreme edges consistent with the relining. Otherwise in good condition.
