Sam
Francis
Born in Northern California (1923 - 1994)
A cosmopolitan abstract painter known for his slippery forms
and abstract shapes gracefully afloat in a world of color and
light. Sam Francis paintings combine Impressionism's commitment
to the visible world of energies under control, but on the verge
of breaking loose. Linear drips and animated droplets, creating
atmospheric effects.
