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 composition is dominated by dynamic splatters, drips, and splashes of deep black ink, layered intricately across a white background. 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 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.
