Further Details
Discussing the role of the horse in the artist’s work, Sarah Kent comments, ‘For [Frink], horses represent a multiplicity of meanings - masculine and feminine sexuality, wildness, unusual sensitivity and freedom from mental and physical constraint. It was the wild horses of the Camargue that sparked off a series of large and small horse sculptures which she describes as ‘the spirit of horses rather than the beasts themselves’ (see S. Kent, Elisabeth Frink: Sculpture and Drawings, 1952-1984, London, 1985, p. 67).
