Sam Francis (1923-1994) was an American painter known for his lyrical and colorful abstract expressions. A key figure in Post-War abstract art, Francis's style evolved from monochromatic abstraction to intense, vibrant, and larger-than-life canvases. His work is characterized by splashes of color, reminiscent of the works of the Abstract Expressionists, yet distinctly his own through the integration of elements from Color Field painting and Japanese art.
