From Tokyo #3 1970

"From Tokyo #3" (1970) is a vibrant abstract painting by American artist Sam Francis (1923-1994). The artwork features a white background punctuated by bold, gestural strokes of color in shades of pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The painting is characteristic of Francis's later style, which embraced lyrical abstraction and the exploration of color and light. Francis was particularly drawn to Japan and its art, and this piece reflects his interest in Japanese calligraphy and the interplay of positive and negative space.
