Sam Francis

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.
