Description:

Medium Sitting Down Horse Bronze, 5 1⁄2" x 9" x 4" Signed and dated 1972 $120,000. - 125,000.This piece was cast at the Meridian Bronze Foundry in London, the sixth in an edition of 12. One of the 20th century's most important sculptors, Dame Elisabeth Frink brings a very strong sense of life to her bronzes while being contained in their calm, muscular energy. Believing art must be made in man's image, her pieces depict subjects that could not be more familiar to the average person; man, birds, dogs and horses. Simple, but yet highly sophisticated in her approach, horses represented several meanings: wildness, sexuality, sensitivity, and the freedom from both the mental and the physical. A rider who grew up in the English countryside, she managed to capture the power of the horse, but also the relaxation and the bond between man, nature and beast.
