内容简介
ELISABETH FRINK,rose to fame at an early age: while still a student in the early 1950s she sold a piece named Bird to the Tate Gallery. This marked the beginning of a long and impressive career, in which she made her name as one of Britain's most impor-tant post-war sculptors. After her early, more abstract, work she soon developed a highly individual figurative style. The accessibility of her approach and choice of subjects, together with the large number of her public commis-sions over a forty-year working life, have made her one of the country's best-known sculp-tors-and one whose work has a genuinely popular appeal.
Following on from Elisabeth Frink: Sculpture,the first volume of her catalogue raisonn6 (published in 1984), this book traces her devel-opment as a sculptor from 1984 to her death in 1993. Edward Lucie-Smith analyses her treat-ment of animal pieces, as well as the major figurative groups such as the Riace Warriors and the Desert Quartet, which continue and deepen her investigation into strong male figures most notably begun with her famous Goggle Heads of the late 1960s.
