8 In emphasising the continuity of arts with crafts, Fry connected his post-impressionism with his political views as more a socialist liberal than a liberal socialist like Leonard Woolf. For the second post-impressionist exhibition, Roger Fry now wrote his own brief general preface and then an introduction to the French paintings which was followed by prefaces to English and Russian pictures by their selectors Clive Bell and Boris Anrep. ) In his preface to the French artists, Fry reverted to the first exhibition and acknowledged it was not surprising the public were so disconcerted, because post-impressionism involved a reconsideration of the very bases of art.
How galling it must have been for conservative painters of the time and their appreciators to be told that men like Cézanne and Van Gogh who could not even draw properly were more spiritual artists (Post, pp. 166–79). IV With the second post-impressionist exhibition of 1912 Bloomsbury’s writing became less defensive as it became more apparent the aesthetic revolution was succeeding. In the two years between the first and second Grafton Gallery shows Roger Fry continued to write art criticism and began to paint post-impressionistically, Clive Bell started his career as an art critic, and even Virginia Woolf reviewed a book on post-impressionism.
Clive Bell’s Art is not only a book about art, it is also, in its own right, a work of literary post-impressionist polemics. 2 The Art of Clive Bell’s Art I As an art critic Clive Bell has always suffered in comparison with Roger Fry. He was not a painter and claimed not to analyse pictures so much as to appreciate them. Fry’s greater originality is evidenced in the ideas that Bell begged, borrowed, and sometimes (to Fry’s irritation) stole from him. Bell may, indeed, be the least liked member of Bloomsbury.
