SF48-004 1948

"SF48-004" is an abstract watercolor painting by American artist Sam Francis, created in 1948. The artwork is characterized by a field of soft pink with scattered blue and green forms. The artist's use of watercolor allows for an ethereal quality, with the colors bleeding and overlapping, giving the impression of movement and light. Francis's work is known for its focus on color and gesture, and this piece exemplifies his exploration of the abstract and its connection to nature. This work represents a transition in Francis's artistic development as he moved towards a more lyrical and expressive approach to abstraction.
