Published in 1914, Bell's 'Art' set out his theory of significant form, and Fry reviewed the publication. The text next to the drawing reads: 'Mr Clive Bell: I always think that when one feels one's been carrying a theory too far, then's the time to carry it a little further. Mr Roger Fry: A little? Good heavens, man! Are you growing old?'
