Arguably one of the largest and most important paintings that Terry Frost produced in the 1960s, Standard Banbury represents a distillation of preceding symbols and forms coupled with references to the heraldic banners Frost so admired at Compton Wynyates, a Tudor country house near his home in Banbury. With their chevrons and frieze-like borders, the abstract motifs articulate Frost's personalised and complex vocabulary.
