Etching and aquatint in colors, on Fabriano paper // Untitled (SFE-073RC) by Sam Francis, created in 1973, is an etching and aquatint on Fabriano paper, limited to an edition of 20. The print features bold, sweeping green brushstrokes layered over a vibrant yellow background, with splatters and spots that add a dynamic, textured effect.

His use of color and form emphasizes spontaneity and freedom, inviting the viewer to explore the intensity and fluidity within the composition. The contrast between the organic shapes and the bright, textured surface enhances the artwork’s visual impact.

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.
