Untitled (from Pasadena Box) 1963

"Untitled (from Pasadena Box)" is a 1963 abstract painting by American artist Sam Francis (1923-1994). The work features bold splashes of color, including a vibrant blue shape that dominates the center of the canvas, surrounded by yellow and white areas. The composition is marked by a sense of spontaneity and energy, characteristic of Francis's style, which often drew inspiration from the lyrical movement of Abstract Expressionism. This painting is part of a larger series known as the "Pasadena Box", created during a period when Francis was exploring new ways to apply paint and create a more expressive surface.
