Lithograph in colors, on wove paper // Sam Francis’s Untitled (SF-356) from 1992 is a limited edition lithograph, featuring vibrant colors on wove paper, and measures 30 by 47 inches. The artwork is an explosion of color and dynamic motion, typical of Francis’s abstract expressionist style. At the center, a large, red circular form dominates the composition, encasing a smaller, multi-colored area filled with organic shapes and splashes. Around this central shape, a chaotic flurry of splatters, drips, and brushstrokes in various colors—blue, green, yellow, and black—radiate outward, creating an energetic and spontaneous feel. The use of vibrant, overlapping hues enhances the sense of movement and depth, making the composition both immersive and lively. Francis’s technique invites viewers to explore the interplay between order and chaos, celebrating the vibrancy of the abstract.

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.
