Roger Eliot Fry bol anglický umelec a výtvarný kritik, ktorý sa významne zapísal do povedomia o modernom umení vo Veľkej Británii. Jeho práca sa sústredila na formálne vlastnosti obrazov a zdôrazňovala estetické kvality nad opisným obsahom. Fry propagoval francúzske maliarstvo, ktoré nazval postimpresionizmom, a jeho vplyv na umelecký vkus bol označovaný za nesrovnateľný. Svojím dielom zásadne premenil spôsob, akým boli moderné umelecké diela vnímané a hodnotené.
