The artwork, “Untitled (SF76-176),” created by Sam Francis in 1976, is an exemplary piece within the Abstract Expressionism movement. Rendered in acrylic on paper, the artwork measures 29.9 by 45.1 cm and belongs to the abstract genre.
The composition is characterized by dynamic splashes of vibrant colors that coalesce and diverge, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. The use of acrylic paint enhances the texture and depth, allowing the colors to interplay with varying intensities. The abstract forms suggest an unrestrained and expressive approach, typical of Francis’ oeuvre in the Abstract Expressionism style. The interplay of colors and shapes in the artwork invites viewers to engage in an introspective interpretation, embodying the hallmark of abstract expressionist art.
