Literature
Born in Thurlow, Suffolk, Frink studied at the Guildford School of Art (1946–1949), under Willi Soukop, and at the Chelsea School of Art (1949–1953). She became part of a post-war group of British sculptors dubbed the Geometry of Fear School that included Reg Butler, Bernard Meadows, Kenneth Armitage and Eduardo Paolozzi. Frink’s subject matter included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs, but very seldom any female forms.
Frink taught at the Royal College of Art and also embarked upon her printmaking career, primarily producing lithographs and etchings. As one of Britain’s leading sculptors, Frink received many public accolades including a C.B.E. (1969), being made a Royal Academician (1977), a Dame of the British Empire (1982) and a Companion of Honour (1992). Elisabeth Frink died in 1993.
