Dame Elisabeth Frink

Bernard Levin in conversation with Dame Elisabeth Frink Britain's foremost sculptress Dame Elisabeth Frink's themes - predatory birds and bird-men, wild boars, horses, standing figures - have become part of the language of the art of our world. Perhaps the most remarkable are her disembodied heads - 'Goggle Men', brutal figures of despotism; and their victims, 'In Memoriam' sculptures of noble sufferers. For her, 'art has always been a civilising factor.... I think a lot of governments have lost sight of humanity now'.
