Fry went on to study painting at Edinburgh College of Art and Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts under William Coldstream, Victor Pasmore and Lawrence Gowing. In 1950 Fry won the Prix de Rome for his painting The Betrayal, and with the award a two-year scholarship at the British School at Rome. Fry went from strength to strength in the painting world.
