Dame Elizabeth Frink was born in Suffolk in 1930 and studied at the Guildford School of Art and Chelsea School of Art. She was part of a postwar group of British sculptors, dubbed the Geometry of Fear school, that included Reg Butler, Kenneth Armitage he and Eduardo Paolozzi. Frink's subject matter included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs, but very seldom any female forms.
