ABSTRACT
When the Manet and the Post-Impressionists exhibition, organized by Roger Fry and Clive Bell, ran at the Grafton Galleries from November 1910 to January 1911, no one could conceive of the far-reaching consequences of the 'revolution of the gaze' that it represented. It was destined to bring in one of the most important innovations in twentieth-century art, and the first in a series of challenges to England's insular artistic conservatism.
