- Abstract:
- The modernist novels written by Virginia Woolf are deeply influenced by the visual art theory raised by Roger Fry, a great British art critic. Fry paid great attention to form and design, holding that artists should deploy lines, colors and masses to endow the overall structure of a picture with stability, harmony and order. He was pleasantly surprised to find real models which suit his artistic pursuit from French post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne’s works. Under the influence of Fry and Cezanne, Woolf relentlessly pursued structure design and space construction in her novels.
