Elisabeth Frink Sculptor

Elisabeth Frink 1930-1993 was an English sculptor and printmaker. Her Times obituary noted the three essential themes in her work as "the nature of Man; the 'horseness' of horses; and the divine in human form". Frink's subject matter included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs, but very seldom any female forms. Bird, one of a number of bird sculptures, and her first successful pieces (also Three Heads and the Figurative Tradition) with its alert, menacing stance, characterises her early work.
