Further description

Simple name
Sculpture
Dimensions
35.6cm (h)
Frink worked in a figurative style, favouring the male form over the more conventional female nude. She used the male figure to express vulnerability and aggression, as opposed to the traditional view of man as an ideal of beauty. This translated into the anatomies visible in her works on paper.
