SAM FRANCIS (1923-1994)

"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." William C. Agee, Sam Francis: Paintings 1947-1990, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, 1999, pp. 42-43.
