Lithograph in colors Approximate edition of 6000; unsigned. Printed by Maeght, Paris. Published by Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh.// A democratic masterpiece from Sam Francis's celebrated Fresh Air School portfolio of 1972. This lithograph in colours is a vivid explosion of chromatic energy — saturated splashes of red, yellow, blue, and green radiating outward in the artist's characteristic open-field composition. Produced in a generous edition that made Francis's luminous California-school abstraction accessible to a wide audience, it remains one of the most recognisable images in post-war American printmaking.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
