Specialist note
“What is characteristic of Sam Francis’ paintings is that the presence of the origin of the creation of order, the presence of chaos as the mother of order, is always strongly felt. It would seem that the artist takes special care in making this presence obvious. It is an element of pride and an element of modesty at the same time.” - P. Selz, Sam Francis, New York, 1982, p. 117
