"Star," created in 1964 by American Abstract Expressionist painter Sam Francis, exemplifies his signature style characterized by vibrant colors and gestural brushstrokes. Francis's work often explores themes of nature and the cosmos, and this artwork is a prime example, depicting a stylized five-pointed star bathed in a luminous yellow, dotted with bursts of pink, blue, and green. The overall effect is a harmonious yet dynamic composition evoking a sense of celestial energy.
