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 abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
