“The painting is always conceived as the linear record of a rhythmic gesture: it is a graph of a dance executed by the hand. Not only the artist's eye and hand perform this dance, so does the eye of the beholder.” DoeHandsEyeArtistRecordsPaintingGesturesLinearBeholderEye Of The BeholderGraphs Author:Roger Fry

To one who feels the language of pictorial form, all depends on how it is presented, nothing on what.” FeelsArtRealFormLanguageUnderstandingSubjectsPaintingDependsImportancePictorial Book:A Roger Fry Reader Source: A Roger Fry Reader

The emotion which accompanies the clear recognition of unity in a complex seems to be so similar in art and in science that it is difficult not to suppose that they are psychologically the same. It is, as it were, the final stage of both processes.” ArtSeemsProcessDifficultPleasureEmotionClearStageDesignTheoryPureEssentialsHighestArt IsUnityComplexesFinalsRecognitionReasoningIdenticalAccompanyScientific Theory Author:Roger Fry
