Man (Folded Arms)

Elizabeth Frink's Man (Folded Arms) sculpture, which is made from bronze and dates to 1970.

 

The nude mand stands upright with arms folded in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

 

The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures.

 

There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited.

 

The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.
