BiographyDame Elisabeth Frink is known for her sculptures and for her prints. “Her work is distinguished by her commitment to naturalistic forms and themes. Frink’s range of subjects included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs… Frink’s sculpture, and her lithographs and etchings created as book illustrations, drew on archetypes expressing masculine strength, struggle and aggression” (Elisabeth Roark, Grove Dictionary of Art). She studied at the Guildford School of Art and with Bernard Meadows at the Chelsea School of Art.
