Signed and inscribed in pencil, lower edge recto: 7/8 Sam Francis; annotated in pencil, lower edge recto: BFK SF128A
American printmaker and painter Sam Francis is known for his works which could be categorised under post-painterly abstraction. His works encourage contemplation through his loose brush strokes and drips, like that of his contemporaries Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. Yet his colour palette radiates an affinity with Japanese abstract art through his saturated colour fields.
