Sir Terry Frost | TateShots

Terry Frost's artistic career began in a Prisoner of War camp, where he met and was taught by artist Adrian Heath. It was the start of a journey that would see him become one of the most important British painters of his generation.
Frost later worked as assistant to Barbara Hepworth in St Ives, Cornwall, where he spent much of his life. In this film, Frost's grandson Luke Frost, himself a painter, shows us around Frost's Porthmeor studio, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and offers a personal insight into his grandfather's life and work.

Absolutely! It's wonderful to think the same studio space has been used by so many different generations. Long may it continue!

I love these short films in general but this is a quiet gem. What history that studio has experienced. Thanks for posting.

very interesting, I knew Luke's dad when I was in art college. Lovely to see the painting through the three layers of the Frost family.

They look a lot different to the one he did of my grandfather in a POW camp.
