Sam Francis 
Courtesy by "Gallery Delaive, Amsterdam"


25.6.1923 Born in San Mateo, CA (US)


Studied medicine at The University of California at Berkeley. He entered the Army Air Corps in 1943, and suffered an injury that required a lengthy recuperation during which Francis took up painting. He then studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute and the University of California at Berkeley. Francis lived in Paris in the 1950’s and achieved his first success in France. After returning to the United States to spend one year in New York City he settled in Santa Monica, California, in 1961. Francis traveled widely exhibiting frequently in Europe and particularly in Japan where he achieved immense celebrity.

Sometimes considered a second-generation Abstract Expressionist, Francis’ work of the 1950’s and 1960’s was abstract, luminous and painterly rather than gestural. Influenced by the works of Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still, Francis’ “signature” paintings of the early 1950’s are overlays of serial but asymmetrical biomorphic forms saturated with color. In the mid-1950’s, Francis began to paint fields of various sized clusters of cell-like shapes usually in blue, yellow, and red on a white ground. By the late 1950’s Francis concentrated on large mural sized works dominated by white and bordered by colorful clusters of forms. This remained his vocabulary throughout his career but by the 1970’s and 1980’s a greater degree of structure emerged. In addition to monumental and easel-size paintings he produced a significant oeuvre of works on paper and prints.
Lives and works 1950 - 1957 in Paris (FR)
