Résumé
This paper seeks to assess Bloomsbury’s contribution to the theorisation of the visual arts. It outlines the parts played by Roger Fry and Clive Bell as mediators of visual modernism and as promoters of an involvement with that practice among British artists. The shifts in art discourse introduced by Fry’s criticism are discussed, and the potential for controversy inherent in a discourse promoting the internationalisation of the British art scene is highlighted. The article concludes by investigating the role of a form-based approach to art in Fry and Bell’s attempt to reconfigure the canon of Western painting.
