Screenprint on wove paper - Signed and numbered in pencil, with studio blindstamp // Sam Francis’ Web (SFS-136) (1972) is a screenprint that captures his signature exploration of color and abstraction. This vibrant piece features splashes and drips of primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—scattered across a white background. The composition’s spontaneous arrangement of layered, overlapping hues gives it a dynamic, almost pulsating energy. Resembling cosmic clusters or interconnected webs, the shapes evoke both chaos and cohesion, drawing the viewer into a visual experience of controlled randomness. Printed on wove paper and signed with a studio blindstamp, this work exemplifies Francis’ ability to translate the essence of action painting into printmaking, offering a bold interplay of color and form.

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.
