// Metal Line by Sam Francis, created in 1971, is a dynamic lithograph that encapsulates the artist's abstract expressionist style. This piece is filled with an energetic array of splatters, drips, and smudges in shades of black, grey, and dark brown that frame a central white space, creating a sense of depth and movement. Francis’s layered application of ink evokes a sense of spontaneity and fluidity, while the contrasting colors highlight the expressive quality of his work. The irregular, almost chaotic patterns suggest natural elements like stone or metal textures, resonating with the title Metal Line. This lithograph captures Francis’s signature exploration of space, form, and gesture, inviting viewers to interpret the abstract forms within their own personal context.

What is Art Informel?
Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
