In 1956, Terry Frost was away from the Cornish landscape with which he and his work is so closely associated, living in Yorkshire as the first ever Gregory Fellow in painting at the University of Leeds. This painting includes one of the characteristic features that entered his work in this period: long, flowing vertical lines, united in direction, but otherwise stubbornly individual. A pictorial device taken from the hand-laid dry stone walls that punctuate the rough hillsides of the Yorkshire Dales, they let Frost's painting reflect the landscape's controlled wilderness: “an honest solution to painting landscape on a flat surface, because that was what it looked like”. In the Tate's 'Winter 1956, Yorkshire', they run most of the length of a piece of hardboard nearly 2.
