YSP - Frink


In the summer holidays, a friend and I spent a day at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I'd been wanting to visit for a while and I wasn't disappointed.

These few posts aim to give you a flavour of just some of what was on offer.


Back in bronze, Running Man is by Dame Elizabeth Frink, a British artist born in Suffolk in 1930 (d 1993).

I love the fluidity of the piece.


Also by her are these white faced men


Her 'Man - Folded Arms' 1970, has blurred facial features which remind me of the Star Trek DS9 'Founders'.

I don't think I'd want any of these in my garden :)

  1. I agree about having them in the garden Helen, but they are wonderful
    nevertheless - my son visits the Park frequently and is always singing its
    praises.
