Sam Francis

A preeminent figure in 20th century abstraction, Sam Francis (1923–1994) is renowned for his dynamic and colorful works. Often considered as the leading member from the second generation of Abstract Expressionist artists, his work is easily recognizable for its vibrant saturated colors, gestural arrangements and his use of open, untouched spaces.
