Untitled, Sir Terry FROST 1995 Printers Proof
Untitled 1995
Sir Terry FROST
Monochrome etching from Sir Terry Frost RA one of Britain's most successful and highly acclaimed artists of the Twentieth Century. His colourful and exuberant paintings gave a popular dimension to the landscape-orientated abstract art produced by the post-war St Ives artist colony.
This is a "Printers Proof" (inscribed PP) which means it is the first one off the press which meets the artists approval for saturation, tonality, density eveness of printing etc. This is held by the printer as the benchmark for the edition. The printer usually gets to keep the PP which the artist signs..
Frost has developed a highly individualised version of modernist abstraction. His work asserts the self-sufficiency of the image, yet is fed by constant observation and an intense responsiveness to both art and nature. He has developed a repertoire of recurrent motifs discs, half-discs and quarter-disc segments, circles, chevrons and arrowheads, truncated ovals, lozenges, triangles and diamonds. With this vocabulary, he creats a visual language of sign and analogy'.(Quoted in Terry Frost, ed. E. Knowles, 1994).
Aquatint/wove signed, dated 1995 and annotated P/P.

By the late 1950's Sir Terry Frost had become established as a leading abstract painter exhibiting regularly in London and throughout the world.
