{"product_id":"nina-hamnett-roger-fry","title":"Nina Hamnett - Roger Fry","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1917 portrait of the artist Nina Hamnett by Roger Fry, capturing the subject with the structural focus and muted palette characteristic of his Post-Impressionist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRoger Fry, a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group and a critic who introduced Post-Impressionism to British audiences, painted this portrait of the artist Nina Hamnett in 1917. Hamnett was a notable figure in the bohemian circles of London and Paris, often referred to as the Queen of Bohemia. Fry captures her with a direct, unidealised gaze, reflecting his interest in the structural qualities of form rather than mere photographic likeness.\n\nThe composition is grounded in the modernist principles Fry championed. Hamnett is seated in a chair, her posture relaxed yet alert. She wears a dark, high-necked garment that contrasts with the muted, earthy tones of the background. Fry employs a controlled palette, using ochre, deep greens, and soft pinks to define the space. The background includes a table with simple domestic objects, which are rendered with a flattened perspective typical of his approach to pictorial space. The brushwork is deliberate, focusing on the weight and volume of the figure.\n\nThis portrait provides a glimpse into the social and artistic milieu of the period. Hamnett, who was also a painter and a muse to many, is presented here with a sense of psychological presence. Fry avoids excessive detail, choosing instead to focus on the essential geometry of the sitter and her environment. The work is a clear example of his application of Post-Impressionist theory to portraiture, where the arrangement of colour and shape takes precedence over traditional academic finish. It remains a significant record of the relationship between two figures who occupied the centre of early twentieth-century British art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-boat-ride-from-sorrento-charles-demuth-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Boat Ride from Sorrento - Charles Demuth — Charles Demuth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roger Fry","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57997155434831,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57997165330767,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57997165363535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57997165396303,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57997165429071,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Nina-Hamnett_Poster_CompositorV1_1782007209112.jpg?v=1782007334","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/nina-hamnett-roger-fry","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
