Aquatint in colors, on Rives BFK paper - Hand-signed by artist // Untitled (SFE-029) by Sam Francis is a limited edition aquatint print created in 1983. This vibrant piece, measuring 101.6 cm by 44.8 cm, is printed on Rives BFK paper and was signed by the artist. Known for his expressive and abstract works, Francis uses a dynamic blend of colors, splatters, and organic shapes that seem to burst across the elongated canvas. The energetic composition showcases his mastery of spontaneity and controlled chaos, reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionist movement. The layering of aquatint techniques brings a textural depth to the artwork, highlighting the interplay of bold and muted tones. As a trial proof, this print reflects the experimental approach Francis employed in exploring color relationships and the fluidity of movement within his art.

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.
