The artwork, titled “Speck,” was created by the artist Sam Francis in 1971. It is a lithography piece that belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
“Speck” exemplifies the unique and vivid style characteristic of Sam Francis, featuring an interplay of colors and forms that appear to float and merge across the surface. The artwork’s abstraction invites viewers to engage with the composition on a sensory level, drawing attention to the expressive use of space and color. As with many works from the Abstract Expressionism movement, it eschews representational form, instead offering an exploration of emotion and spontaneous creativity.
