Sam Francis

Untitled (SFE-029)

1983

This 1983 aquatint demonstrates Francis's mastery of the printmaking medium, translating his signature painterly approach of luminous color fields and organic forms into the more controlled yet spontaneous effects achievable through acid-etched plates. Part of a limited edition of 25, the work exemplifies the artist's late-period exploration of how traditional printmaking techniques could capture his characteristic sense of light and atmospheric color.
