Sam Francis:
Sam Francis, a significant representative of Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction, created works that stand out for their dynamic use of color and free language of form. His works, often infused with intense color explosions and organic shapes, recall the works of Jackson Pollock, whose drip techniques and spontaneous compositions possess a similar energetic quality.
Francis' focus on color as a primary means of expression shows parallels to the paintings of Mark Rothko, whose large-scale color fields create a deep emotional impact. Like Rothko, Francis used color to establish an immediate, almost meditative connection with the viewer. The works of Clyfford Still, characterized by their luminous colors and jagged edges, could also be seen as relatives of Francis' work.
The flowing, almost watercolor-like transitions in Francis's paintings reveal a certain proximity to the works of Helen Frankenthaler, whose 'soak-stain' technique produced similar soft, translucent layers of color. Morris Louis, whose color stripe paintings also emphasized the effect of color and transparency, could likewise be considered a artistic relative of Francis.
In Sam Francis's dynamic compositions, where color often appears like movement, influences of Joan Miró can also be recognized, whose biomorphic forms and vibrant colors demonstrate a similarly playful approach to abstraction. The way Francis often painted his canvases from the center outward, leaving large white areas, could also recall the works of Yves Klein, whose monochrome paintings also played with the effects of space and emptiness.
Francis's works, often impressing with their lightness and the flowing character of the color, are also aesthetically related to the abstract works of Hans Hofmann, who, as a teacher and artist, emphasized the use of color as an independent force in painting. The calligraphic lines that appear in some of Francis's works could also be related to the works of Cy Twombly, who possessed a similar sensitivity for line and gesture.

Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
