BRONZE AGE
The anthropomorphic artworks of Elisabeth Frink
Throughout her life, Elisabeth Frink was fascinated by the interdependent relationship between humans and animals, creating expressionist bird and animal-human hybrid forms in which menace and majesty unite. She worked close to nature in a studio in rural Dorset, preferring to take on the tactile intimacy of sculpture alone, without the help of assistants. In the largest presentation of the artist’s work since her death in 1993, more than 150 of Frink’s sculptures and prints will be exhibited alongside the work of other modern masters, including Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti and Francis Bacon. eph ‘Elisabeth Frink: Humans and Other Animals’ is at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (www.scva.ac.uk) until 24 February 2019.
