Color Lithograph on Rives BFK paper // Sam Francis's Untitled (SF-257) from Marginalia: Hommage to Shimizu Suite (1979) is a vivid lithograph on Rives BFK paper. The composition centers around a series of rectangular forms, layered in deep reds and surrounded by splashes of vibrant blue, purple, yellow, and white. The overlapping colors and expressive brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of Francis’s abstract expressionist style. The piece feels both structured and spontaneous, capturing the energy of abstract art while paying homage to Japanese aesthetics, as suggested by the suite’s title.

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.
