Sam Francis

"Even though he uses gestural brushwork, with paint dripping and splattering like the abstract expressionists, Francis' work in the sixties is usually considered part of the color-field painteres because of the extreme openness and clarity of his compositions. He gives one a feeling of vibrating space and airiness." 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends : inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center (1970), p/ 99.
