Blue and Red Balls 1962

Sam Francis's 1962 painting, "Blue and Red Balls", exemplifies the artist's signature Abstract Expressionist style. The work is characterized by bold, gestural brushstrokes and vibrant color, notably blues, reds and blacks, which are rendered in a loose, spontaneous manner on a white canvas. The seemingly floating "balls" with their swirling, energetic forms convey a sense of movement and energy. Francis's abstract works often explored themes of space, light, and the human condition, making "Blue and Red Balls" a visually captivating and evocative expression of his artistic vision.
