EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Clivia, 1917" an exquisite oil on canvas painting by Roger Eliot Fry. The artwork, part of a private collection, depicts a houseplant known as Clivia elegantly placed against a backdrop of green drapery. The simplicity and beauty of the flower are highlighted in this piece. Painted during the Bloomsbury era, "Clivia, 1917" was one of twenty artworks exhibited at the Carfax Gallery in November that year. Walter Sickert, writing for The Burlington Magazine at the time, praised Fry's paintings as serious and thoughtful works that were expressed without the monotony of excessive representation. The photograph itself was taken by eThe Bloomsbury Workshop in London and is now out of copyright. It perfectly captures the essence and vibrancy of this English still life masterpiece. The orange blooms contrast beautifully with the blue pot plant they are housed in. Fry's work is often associated with the Bloomsbury Group or Bloomsbury Set - a collective of British artists and intellectuals who sought to challenge traditional artistic conventions during their time. This particular painting exemplifies their exploration into capturing simple yet profound moments through art. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both Fry's skillful brushwork and his ability to convey depth within seemingly ordinary subjects like houseplants.
