James Fry is a master of atmospheric light and reflection best known for his Dorset landscapes and coastal views.
‘Fry was called “the last of the English Impressionists” because of his fascination with the play of sunshine and reflections on water." (Taken from - Dictionary of Artists In Britain Since 1945.)

James Fry was an artist, designer and photographer born in London. After Art School he worked for the Picture Post and as a designer of ties for Liberty.
In 1954 disenchanted with commercial life in London he moved to Corfe Castle in Dorset where he set up a studio.

Fry and his wife Ivy were committed pacifists, environmentalists and vegetarians, shunning cars, telephones, television and other aspects of modern life. He travelled by bicycle to find his subjects in the landscape and coastal scenery of Dorset.
