Elizabeth Frink (14th November 1930 - 18th April 1993) - Dame Elisabeth Frink was one of Britain’s best known artists. She studied at The Guildford School of Art & The Chelsea School of Art and latterly taught both Chelsea and St.Martin’s and lectured at the Royal Academy. Frink was known as a sculptor and printmaker. Her figures have dignity, mystery and a simplicity of form which place them apart from us they seem to be focused elsewhere. Her animals demonstrate her deep understanding of their state, for she encapsulates their innate and individual characteristics. Frink's drawing and graphic work followed the same themes, being executed with the economy of means and feeling for surface texture that is to be found in her three-dimensional work. Elisabeth Frink died in 1993.
