Allegation: Roger Fry
In November of 1910 Roger Fry, art historian and critic, put together a show of impressionist painters that had remained rather obscure from the public eye. He felt that contemporary art had grown stale and wanted to show artists that had a vibrancy he wanted to draw attention to. It was, he felt, a new impression, and he along with the Desmond McCarthy (Secretary to the exhibition committee) termed a new word: Post-Impressionism.
