Large Print of Sam Francis Abstract Painting on 1985 Guggenheim Museum Exhibition Poster for Painterly Visions featuring works from 1940-1984... Sam Francis (1923-1994) was one of the twentieth century's most profound Abstract Expressionists, and is noted as one of the first post-World War II painters to develop an international reputation. Francis created thousands of paintings as well as works on paper, prints and monotypes, housed in major museum collections and institutions around the world. Regarded as one of the leading interpreters of color and light, his work holds references to New York abstract expressionism, color field painting, Chinese and Japanese art, French impressionism and his own Bay Area roots.
