Vision and Design by Roger Fry is a seminal work in art criticism that explores the relationship between vision and design in art. Fry argues that art is not merely a representation of reality but a creation of form and color that exists independently of its subject matter. Through his analysis of various artistic styles and periods, Fry develops a theory of "pure form" that emphasizes the importance of abstract qualities such as line, shape, and color in creating aesthetically satisfying works of art.
