Lithograph in colors, on Rives BFK paper // 'Dark Cup (SF-141)' by Sam Francis, created in 1973, is a powerful lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s signature abstract expressionist style.

The bold, gestural marks create a sense of chaotic energy while simultaneously inviting introspection. Measuring 70.2 x 105.4 cm, this work showcases Francis’s mastery of balancing spontaneity with deliberate composition, offering viewers a visceral encounter with abstraction and the expressive possibilities of lithography.

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.
