Lithograph on BFK Rives paper - 63 x 90 cm - Signed 'Sam Francis' (lower left) Edition of 18 - Publisher: Kornfeld & Klipstein, Bern. - Printer: Emil Matthieu, Zurich. Catalogue Raisonné of Sam Francis's prints. Listed as entry L.12 in 'The Prints of Sam Francis: A Catalogue Raisonné, 1960-1990," authored by Connie Lembark and published in 1992. // 'Beauty Walk' by Sam Francis is a lithograph from 1960 that embodies the artist's exploration of gestural abstraction and expressive color. The composition is dominated by bold cobalt blue forms, marked by dynamic splatters and speckled textures that seem to float within the negative space. The contrast of dense pigment with open areas of neutral tones gives the work an ethereal and rhythmic quality, evoking movement and vitality. This limited-edition print exemplifies Francis’s commitment to spontaneity, balance, and his fascination with the interplay between presence and absence, hallmarks of his style during the height of the abstract expressionist movement.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
