Note du spécialiste

“Once more, then, in this fresh exuberance of color—an art, like Suprematism of pure feeling—we find a quasi-geometric structure, a brilliant fusion of those old opposites, the organic and the stable, which had informed Francis’s art from the start.” (W. Agee, Sam Francis: Paintings 1947-1990, exh. cat., Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 1999, pp. 42-43.)
