Frost, Sir Terry

Frost, Sir Terry
▪ 2004
Terence Ernest Manitou Frost 
      British abstract artist and teacher (b. Oct. 13, 1915, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Eng.—d. Sept. 1, 2003, Hayle, Cornwall, Eng.), created works in abstract shapes grounded in natural forms that used colour and light to produce a sense of delight in life. Frost began his career as a painter while a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II. Moving to the artist colony at St. Ives, Cornwall, he studied and later taught art. His first one-man show was at Leicester Galleries in 1952, and a major retrospective, “Terry Frost: Six Decades,” was held at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2000. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1992 and knighted in 1998.
