Lot Essay

David Lewis discusses Frost's paintings from the late 1960s: 'Although C- and D-shapes had been part of his vocabulary since the abstracts of 1950-51, by the late 1960s they were taking on new roles ... Frost found himself using repeated series of D-shapes to carry colour across the canvas. He was also intrigued by intervening shapes and the rhythms they set up ... large-scale D-shapes, almost touching, and pairs of large tilted quadrants - both reminiscent of the boat-like shapes of earlier work and also related to the bikini images - had appeared before but now they were transformed, enlarged and sharpened: harder-edged, harder coloured' (see D. Lewis, Terry Frost, Aldershot, 1996, p. 113).
