Yellow Speck 1963

"Yellow Speck" is a 1963 work by American abstract expressionist painter Sam Francis. The painting, which is characterized by vibrant splashes of yellow, purple, and red, embodies the artist's signature style of action painting. Francis was known for his spontaneous, gestural brushstrokes and his use of color to convey emotion and energy. The work's chaotic yet balanced composition exemplifies the dynamism and emotionality that defined the abstract expressionist movement. The use of bright colors and bold brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and energy, reflecting the artist's interest in the interplay of color and form.
