A GUIDE TO WORKS IN THE FRY ART GALLERY

210 x 210mm paperback

96 pages with 85 illustrations in full colour

£10.00 (plus £3.00 p&p)

Artists at the Fry describes the background to works in the Fry Art Gallery, Saffron Walden, Essex. The gallery's unique North West Essex Collection is largely based on the artists of Great Bardfield, including Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious, Michael Rothenstein, John Aldridge and Kenneth Rowntree, who lived in this Essex village between 1930 and 1970. The book sets in context the spontaneous gathering of an interesting-group of artists, and assesses their distinctive contributions. The Collection also spreads its net to include other artists such as Michael Ayrton, Robert Colquhoun, Robert McBryde, and Isabel Lambert, who lived in nearby villages. With original essays by Olive Cook and Malcolm Yorke, plus biographical notes on the thirty artists who comprise the Collection, Artists at the Fry is  also a valuable reference book for those interested in 20th-century British art, book illustration and design.
