Lemon and White, Spring ‘63
Frost was born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire and left school aged 14, working in a cycle shop and a factory, before serving in the military during the Second World War. At a prisoner-of-war camp he was encouraged to paint by a fellow prisoner. In 1946 Frost moved to Cornwall, where he briefly studied at the St Ives School of Painting, before attending Camberwell School of Art.
In the 1950s he taught at Leeds but returned to Cornwall, where he was inspired by the light and colour. He was a leading exponent of abstract art and a recognised figure of the British art establishment.
