"Horse and Rider (Frink) Horse and Rider (FCR 242) is a 1974 bronze equestrian sculpture by Elisabeth Frink. The work was commissioned for a site in Mayfair; another cast is in Winchester. It was described by Frink as ""an ageless symbol of man and horse"". One of Frink's earliest sculptures from 1950 was also titled ""Horse and Rider"", and she returned to this subject over decades. A series of Frink prints from the early 1970s held by the Tate Gallery depict a horse and rider. Frink lived in southern France in 1967 to 1970, near the Camargue. She was inspired"
"Elisabeth Frink Dame Elisabeth Jean Frink (14 November 1930 – 18 April 1993) was an English sculptor and printmaker. Her ""Times"" obituary noted the three essential themes in her work as ""the nature of Man; the ""horseness"" of horses; and the divine in human form"". Elisabeth Frink was born in November 1930 at her paternal grandparents home The Grange in Great Thurlow, a village and civil parish in the St Edmundsbury district of Suffolk, England. Her parents were Ralph Cuyler Frink and Jean Elisabeth (née Conway-Gordon). Captain Ralph Cuyler Frink, was a career officer in the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards"
"steel and niobium are reminiscent of industrial design. Designer Lisa Gralnick made use of black acrylic sheets to create pieces that suggested missiles or submarines. Other artists have incorporated rubber, wood, concrete, plastics, and various non-precious metals to simulate architectural forms. When more traditional materials such as gold or silver are used, they are often worked in ways that produce non-traditional textures. For example, English jeweler Gerda Flockinger would melt down the surfaces of her pieces to create unusual textures typically not seen in traditional jewellery. A 1999 article in ""Modern Silver"" magazine described how Patricia Tormey ""slammed molten gold"
"Meadows, Kenneth Armitage and Eduardo Paolozzi. Frink’s subject matter included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs, but very seldom any female forms. ""Bird"" (1952; London, Tate), one of a number of bird sculptures, and her first successful pieces (also ""Three Heads and the Figurative Tradition"") with its alert, menacing stance, characterizes her early work. Although she made many drawings and prints, she is best known for her bronze outdoor sculpture, which has a distinctive cut and worked surface. This is created by her adding plaster to an armature, which she then worked back into with a chisel and surform."

To accompany an exhibition at Flowers Gallery in 1993, Robert Heller said: ""The only thing precocious about that one-day show was the artist's age: she was only 24. But the work had a maturity of concept and sureness of execution that defied precocity. The life-sized dying bull of straw and hessian, in particular, was a terrifying work, whose physical frailty"

Frink not only lent these but also was on location for their shooting and coached actor Viveca Lindfors on performing the sculptor’s method of building up plaster, which was then ferociously worked and carved.

"sometimes called ""galvanoplastic bronzes"", although the actual metal is usually copper. It was possible to apply essentially any patina to these sculptures; gilding was also readily accomplished in the same facilities as electrotyping by using electroplating. Electrotyping has been used to reproduce valuable objects such as ancient coins, and in some cases electrotype copies have proven more durable than fragile originals. One of the earliest documented large-scale () electrotype sculptures was John Evan Thomas's ""Death of Tewdric Mawr, King of Gwent"" (1849). The electrotype was done by Elkington, Mason, & Co. for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Among the most"

Contemporary artists continue to push the boundaries of this ancient drawing technique.

Susan Schwalb has combined smoke and fire in silver and copperpoints in the 1980s and currently creates drawings and paintings using numermous metals as well as acrylic paint.

"After the March 2010 confirmation of Orbit as the winning design, construction began in November 2010 and it reached its full height in November 2011. Steel is the primary material used in the sculpture. According to Balmond, there was no other feasible alternative, as steel was the only material that could give the minimum thickness and maximum strength represented in the coiling structure. It was built from approximately 2000 tons of steel, produced as much as possible from ArcelorMittal plants, with the exact sourcing being determined by the grades of steel required and the technical requirements of the project. 60%"

She took this bronze to E. Weyhe, a dealer on Lexington Avenue in New York City, who gave her access to his collection of German Expressionist artists. There, she was inspired by Ernst Barlach, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, and Käthe Kollwitz, whose work led her to turn away from classical forms and begin distorting the figures she sculpted until they were ""stick-like.""
