Original screenprint in colors - Signed in pencil, and numbered - unframed (Lembark S21.) // Sam Francis's For the Blue Sons of the Air is a vibrant screen-print that showcases the artist's affinity for color and dynamic compositions. This limited edition print, created in 1990, features a swirling arrangement of greens, blues, and reds on a white background, creating a sense of movement and energy.

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.
