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 Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
