About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Elisabeth Frink’s individualism and independence ensure that she avoids easy categorisation. This lecture will locate Elisabeth Frink in the context of twentieth century British sculpture. We will compare Frink’s work with the abstract forms of Hepworth, the barely figurative shapes of Moore, and the naturalistic later works and portraits of Epstein. Special attention will be given to the pieces exhibited in Salisbury Museum.

The Salisbury Museum

The Salisbury Museum tells the story of Salisbury and its surrounding areas - a unique landscape which has been a cradle of continuous human achievement for over half a million years.

The museum uses the extraordinary breadth of its collections, exhibitions and events - including prehistoric material from Stonehenge and South Wiltshire; the Pitt Rivers’ Wessex collection; and a fine medieval collection with finds from Old Sarum, Clarendon Palace and the city itself - to bring to life the narrative of this landscape, and of the people who shaped it and have been inspired by it for over 500,000 years.

Based in the King’s House, a grade I listed building located opposite Salisbury Cathedral, the museum building formerly housed a teacher training college and was the inspiration for an episode in Thomas Hardy’s novel Jude the Obscure.
