Online Catalogue Raisonné Project Burchett-Lere; Registered in the archives of the Sam Francis Foundation, Glendale, USA under number SF63-012. // "Vert Francaise" from 1963 captures Sam Francis's lyrical approach to color and space during his early mature period. A sweeping magenta-red arc traverses the upper portion while a deep blue-green form anchors the lower edge, leaving an expansive cream-colored center animated by scattered red droplets. This open composition reflects Francis's engagement with Eastern aesthetics and the concept of ma, or meaningful emptiness. Registered with the Sam Francis Foundation, the work demonstrates his masterful balance between chromatic exuberance and spatial restraint during his pivotal Paris-influenced years.

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.
