One of the twentieth century\u2019s most profound Abstract Expressionists, American artist Sam Francis (1923-1994) is noted as one of the first post-World War II painters to develop an international reputation. Francis created thousands of paintings as well as works on paper, prints and monotypes, housed in major museum collections and institutions around the world. Regarded as one of the leading interpreters of color and light, his work holds references to New York abstract expressionism, Chinese and Japanese art and French impressionism.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0After graduating from Cal Berkeley in 1950 with a degree in art, Francis moved to Paris. A transformative period of his career, Francis immersed himself in a study of Monet\u2019s Water Lilies and was influenced by his close friendships with the Matisse family and artists Al Held, Joan Mitchell, and Jean-Paul Riopelle.<\/p>

\u00a0For the next four decades he traveled and studied extensively, maintaining studios in Bern, Paris, Tokyo, Mexico City, New York and Northern and Southern California. Through his travels he was exposed to many styles, techniques and cultural influences, which informed the development of his own dialogue and style of painting. Francis possessed a lyrical and gestural hand, enabling him to capture and record the brilliance, energy, and intensity of color at different moments of time and periods of his life. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Not only are Francis\u2019s paintings valued historically for their aesthetic vision, but his inquisitive mind and spirit have solidified Francis\u2019s legacy as a contemporary renaissance man. His interest in the creative process was expansive and synergistic.<\/p>
