Sir Terry Frost - a podcast by BBC Radio 4
from 1998-04-19T10:15
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the abstract artist Sir Terry Frost.
He first became interested in art as a prisoner of war, when lack of food and freedom enhanced the beauty of a single leaf. On his return to Britain, nature continued to fascinate him and inform his work; bright circles of colour inspired by the Sun and Moon, or patterns of white-on-white remembered from a snowy landscape. Now 83, he's never been so busy. A good thing, he says, because it keeps the aches and pains away.
