A vibrant explosion of gestural color marks the surface of this lithograph by Sam Francis, where luminous pools of red, blue, yellow, and black burst and bleed across the delicate Shirikawa rice paper. True to Francis's Abstract Expressionist sensibility, the composition balances dynamic, painterly energy with open expanses of white, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. Mounted on a silk roll as originally issued, this work from the *Pasadena Box* reflects Francis's deep engagement with Japanese aesthetics and his masterful translation of painterly gesture into the print medium.
