Original lithograph in colors on Rives paper - Signed in pencil, and numbered (verso); // Blue Cut Sail by Sam Francis, a 1969 lithograph on Rives paper, embodies the artist’s signature style with its vibrant, spontaneous splashes of color along the edges of a broad white canvas. The dynamic composition features bold reds, deep blues, and touches of yellow and purple that frame an open center, creating a sense of movement and energy around a quiet expanse. Francis’s use of color and form here conveys a balance between chaos and calm, with the splattered and dripping paint effects lending a sense of freedom and experimentation. Signed in pencil and numbered on the verso, this piece captures the spirit of abstract expressionism.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
