EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a model gracefully poses in a cotton dress by Sambo, surrounded by the raw and textured environment of Elisabeth Frink's studio. The sculptor, known for her powerful and thought-provoking works, makes no concessions to the fact that she is being featured in a fashion shoot. Frink sits moodily in the background, her expression deep in thought as she puffs on a cigarette. The contrast between the delicate femininity of the model and the rugged, artistic surroundings creates a striking juxtaposition. The year is 1959, and the fashionable yet unconventional atmosphere of the Beatnik era is palpable. Frink's studio, filled with her sculptures and works in progress, exudes an artistic energy that is both invigorating and inspiring. The model's cotton dress by Sambo, with its simple yet elegant design, complements the industrial backdrop, highlighting the beauty and versatility of the fabric. Elisabeth Frink, a trailblazing sculptress of her time, was known for her bold and unapologetic approach to art. Her sculptures, which often depicted the human form in raw and emotional states, challenged societal norms and pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. In this photograph, Frink's presence adds an authentic and intriguing element to the fashion shoot, showcasing the intersection of art and fashion in the 1950s. The photograph captures a moment in time, where the worlds of art and fashion collide, resulting in a captivating and timeless image. The model's cotton dress by Sambo, the raw energy of Elisabeth Frink's studio, and the sculptor's unwavering artistic spirit come together to create a photograph that is as beautiful as it is thought-provoking.
