Study for Standard VI Frink’s initial study of the eagle and it’s anatomy of movement. Frink created a series of ‘Standard’ forms which captured an eagle perched on a tall pedestal in various stages of movement preparing to launch, shaking of their feathers or raising their head to cry out. Each piece encapsulates the attributes of the shifting motions of an eagle through varying forms of abstraction whilst some illustrate precise details including claws, beaks and wings.
