One of six prints that comprise the Presidential Portfolio - Original three-color lithograph on BFK Rives - Signed and numbered in pencil - Literature: Lembark 241 // Sam Francis’s Untitled (Radiant Splatter) (1981) is an energetic lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s abstract expressionist style. This piece, one of six prints in the Presidential Portfolio, features dynamic splashes and splatters of deep blues, greys, and blacks, radiating from a central diamond shape. The controlled chaos of the paint, applied in a gestural manner, creates a sense of movement and spontaneity. Francis’s use of negative space allows the explosive splatters to stand out, highlighting the contrast between the geometric center and the organic forms surrounding it. This limited edition lithograph is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil, printed on BFK Rives paper.

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.
