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 Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
