Sir
Terry Frost has become one of the most highly regarded British artists of our
time.
He discovered his artistic talent during the four years he spent as
a prisoner of war during the second world war. On his return to England he
studied at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, enjoying the flourishing
scenes of London and St Ives. By the late 1950s he had become established as a
leading abstract painter, exhibiting regularly in London and throughout the
world.
Printmaking played a key role in Frost's work since his student
days. Painting and print became inseparable to him with one medium creating
ideas and informing the other. In 1974 he moved to Newlyn in Cornwall, with his
wife Kate and 5 children where his love of the region inspired the body of work
that we continue to enjoy today.
Sir Terry Frost regrettably passed away on the 1st September 2003.
