1970

About the Item

Elisabeth Frink (1930-1993) was one of Britain's leading postwar sculptors. In addition to her work in sculpture, Frink was an accomplished and prolific printmaker, experimenting with various mediums and techniques over the course of her career. Growing up during the Second World War, Frink was deeply effect by the horror and tragedy that unfolded in the aftermath of the conflict. The artist's proximity to war would influence her practice, as she would depict her most preferred subject matter (men, birds, and horses) with strength and resilience. Frink was particularly interested in the relationship between man and horse and studied their images and dynamic throughout history. She established equestrian imagery as one of her most notable and iconic motifs, reimagining the pair in various mediums throughout her oeuvre. These images are both timeless and universal. "Horse and Rider I" serves as an excellent testament to Frink's body of work. This elegant print shows a man mounted on a horse, both poised and dynamic. The rider is stylized and possibly unclothed, emphasizing the musculature of both subjects and the instinctive bond between the two. Today, Frink's work is held in numerous museum collections including The Tate Modern (London) and The National Portrait Gallery (London). The artist's contribution to public art is celebrated internationally with works on display in Windsor Sculpture Park (Ontario), Old Bond St. (London), and the Chatsworth House (Derbyshire).

  • Rites of Passage II
    By Robert Motherwell
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Robert Motherwell (1915-1991), alongside Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning, made up the quartet of American abstract painters that radically defined abstraction and established New York City as the center of the art world for the second half of the 20th century. Motherwell was also the unofficial spokesman of the New York School, writing, teaching and lecturing on behalf of the movement, his fellow artists, and the merits of abstraction. His work appears in museum collections around the world and is instantly recognizable for its boldness and black forms. Yet in addition to his impressive paintings, Motherwell is also revered as a printmaker. He is one of the most innovative and prolific printmakers of the 20th century. He was always searching for new techniques, whether at his own printmaking atelier, or collaborating with others, to expand his ideas and express his aesthetic. This print, along with "El General", was created at Tyler Graphics in 1979. "Rites of Passage II...

  • Half Dead, "Inflammatory Essay" (from Documenta 1982)
    By Jenny Holzer
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Jenny Holzer is one of the most important and original artists of the 20th century. Her body of work, with its emphasis on text, is provocative and occasionally frightening, manipulating the language of folk wisdom, pop culture, and government slogan to produce a commentary on global issues including power structures, gender struggle, economics, voting, and warfare. Holzer's iconic "Inflammatory Essays", produced between 1979 and 1982, were first pasted on walls throughout heavily populated metro areas including New York, and shortly after in other cities. Unsigned and commercially produced, they subverted the conventions of advertising, graffiti, and public art. Each essay was in a different eye-catching color to maximize viewers' attention. It was also helpful when one Essay replaced an older one. The texts were derived from her childhood interest in rapturous writings. Holzer tried to emulate a similar style for her essays, yet borrowed from political theorists (notably Mao, Lenin, and Emma Goldman...
