Fine art lithograph This is an untitled lithograph by American artist Sam Francis (1923–1994)
, created in 1987. Francis was a leading figure in Abstract Expressionism, known for his large-scale, colorful works that used techniques like dripping and splattering paint. The work features a central mass of red, brown, and yellow splatters on a white background, with a green, leafy-looking form and a blue circle with a pink ring in the other corners. The piece is described as a color lithograph and is available for sale from various galleries. Francis's work was influenced by color field painting and Chinese and Japanese art.
This type of art, also known as "action painting," involves artists using their whole bodies to create the artwork, often by throwing, flinging, or dripping paint onto a canvas. The spontaneity and improvisation of this technique were central to the Abstract Expressionist movement. |
