Note on Elizabeth Frink Lithographs for the Iliad
World War broke out shortly before her ninth birthday and her father, a career solider, was among those evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940. Growing up near a military airfield, she became used to the sound of bombers and fighter planes overhead.
The Second World War provided an important context for Elisabeth Frink’s life and work. It broke out shortly before her ninth birthday and her father, a career solider, was among those evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940. Frink became used to the sound of bombers and fighter planes overhead, growing up near a military airfield.
These experiences are reflected in her childhood drawings, which frequently included falling men and wounded animals, themes she would continue to develop at art school and throughout her career.
Appropriately, Frink became part of a group of post-war British known as the ‘Geometry of Fear’ school, including Kenneth Armitage, Eduardo Paolozzi and Reg Butler. Their artistic creations were characterised by heavily cut and worked surfaces and angular human forms.
Frink’s work revolved on archetypes of masculine strength, struggle and aggression. Combined with her preoccupation with war, completing a set of illustrations for Homer’s epic Greek poems ‘The Iliad’ and ‘The Odyssey’ was a natural fit. The poems tell the story of the Trojan War and the journey of Odysseus after the fall of the city of Troy in which God-like characters are elevated to mythological status, and they provided a rich source of inspiration for imagery in Frink’s illustrations.
Frink produced these lithographs in the period 1974-75 with the master printers at The Curwen Press. Like many of her Modern British contemporaries, Frink showed great versatility in the approach she brought to her artwork and undertook commissions for book illustrations and design projects.
The result was a diverse output, which brought her work to the attention of a wider audience without ever compromising on their quality or integrity.
Elizabeth Frink (14th November 1930 – 18th April 1993)
Dame Elisabeth Frink was one of Britain’s best known artists. She studied at The Guildford School of Art & The Chelsea School of Art and latterly taught both Chelsea and St.Martin’s and lectured at the Royal Academy. Frink was known as a sculptor and printmaker. Her figures have dignity, mystery and a simplicity of form which place them apart from us they seem to be focused elsewhere. Her animals demonstrate her deep understanding of their state, for she encapsulates their innate and individual characteristics. Frink's drawing and graphic work followed the same themes, being executed with the economy of means and feeling for surface texture that is to be found in her three-dimensional work. Elisabeth Frink died in 1993.
