Untitled 1975

Sam Francis's "Untitled" (1975) is a striking black and white lithograph, known for its expressive use of line and form. The work features an abstract depiction of a face, partially obscured by a web of lines and splatter marks. Francis's signature style of gestural abstraction is evident in the free-flowing, spontaneous nature of the composition, suggestive of a raw emotional intensity. The artist's signature in the lower right corner adds a final personal touch to the composition. Francis was renowned for his vibrant, abstract canvases, and this lithograph reflects a similar dynamism, utilizing negative space effectively to create a powerful visual experience.
