This Sam Francis Untitled, 1987 is unique monotype with mixed media on paper, hand-signed by Sam Francis (San Mateo, 1923- Santa Monica, 1994) in pencil in the lower right.

In Untitled, SFM.86-259, 1987, Sam Francis channels his signature language of color and gesture into a dynamic interplay of form and space. Vivid washes of blue, crimson, and yellow seem to burst outward across the paper, evoking both spontaneity and careful compositional balance. The fluidity of the paint - dripped, splattered, and layered - reveals Francis's lifelong approaching to the freedom of spirit, the energy of emotion. The open areas serve as emptiness and active void, a breathing space that amplifies the vitality of the surrounding hues. Through this tension between chaos and clarity, Francis transforms abstraction into a deeply meditative visual experience.
