Paintings by Anthony Fry
Essay by Patrick Kinmonth

The recent decade shows the power and intensity in, and extraordinary production of, late work by the great English painter and colorist Anthony Fry, exhibiting the full range of the painter’s art, extending from oils to watercolors and gouache to mixed media. Includes work in India, North Africa, and from his recent travels to Moorish Spain and the Near East.

Anthony Fry was born in 1927. He attended the Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts and has taught at the Bath Academy of Art. He had his first one-man exhibition at St. George’s Gallery, London, in 1955. His work is included in public collections of the Tate Gallery, the Contemporary Art Society, the Arts Council of Great Britain, and the Saatchi Collection, among others. He is the recipient of a Harkness Fellowship and a Lorne Fellowship. Fry currently divides his time between England and southern Spain, where he moved recently after seven years of working half the year in a studio in southern India. He is represented by Browse and Darby Gallery, London.
