Etching in colors on wove paper. Edition of 76 (plus 18 artist's proofs), numbered in pencil lower left. Published and printed by 2RC Edizioni d'Arte/Vigna Antoniniana Stamperia d'Arte, Rome. Sheet size: 91.8 x 100.3 cm (36 1/8 x 39 1/2 in) Image size: 59.4 x 66.4 cm (23 3/8 x 26 1/8 in) Frame size: 101.0 x 109.2 cm (39 3/4 x 43 in)// Untitled Red (American Foundation) is a commanding etching in colours on wove paper, published and printed by the renowned 2RC Edizioni d'Arte in Rome. A luminous field of red — Francis's most emotionally charged hue — dominates the sheet, modulated by subtle layered passages that create an internal glow reminiscent of stained glass. The etching technique yields a surface quality distinct from his lithographic and aquatint work, the bitten line adding a material directness that anchors the colour in physical process. From an edition of seventy-six plus eighteen artist's proofs, this print bridges Francis's Californian light-saturated sensibility with the refined European printmaking tradition of his Italian publisher.

What is lyrical abstraction ?
Artwork by Helen Frankenthaler

What is lyrical abstraction ?

Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
