[title not known] 1930

Editor: Here we see a pen and ink drawing of a church interior by Roger Fry. I’m struck by the sheer scale of the architecture, yet the image feels very intimate. What can you tell us about its historical context? Curator: Fry, known for championing Post-Impressionism in Britain, often depicted architectural spaces. The seemingly reverent depiction of this church is interesting when viewed through the lens of his engagement with modernism; it invites us to consider the shifting role of religious institutions in modern society, don't you think? Editor: That's a great point. It makes you wonder how Fry saw tradition fitting into this new era. Thanks! Curator: Indeed, a fascinating interplay. It prompts us to question how artistic movements reflect and shape our understanding of societal structures.
