This print captures the essence of Dame Elizabeth Frink's mesmerizing sculpture, "Frink - Desert Quartet DP167464". Located in the Montague Shopping Centre on Alexander Terrace in Worthing, West Sussex, this post-war masterpiece stands as a testament to Frink's artistic brilliance. The photograph, skillfully captured by James O. Davies in 2014, showcases the intricate details and powerful presence of this remarkable artwork. The sculpture itself portrays four figures standing tall against the backdrop of a barren desert landscape. Each figure exudes strength and resilience while simultaneously evoking a sense of vulnerability. Dame Elizabeth Frink's Desert Quartet serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit that emerged from the aftermath of war. Its striking form and emotive expression invite viewers to reflect upon themes such as human suffering, survival, and hope. Through his lens, James O. Davies expertly conveys not only the physicality but also the emotional depth embedded within this sculpture.
