One of six prints that comprise the Presidential Portfolio - Original three-color lithograph on BFK Rives - Signed and numbered in pencil - Literature: Lembark 241 // Sam Francis’s Untitled (Radiant Splatter) (1981) is an energetic lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s abstract expressionist style. This piece, one of six prints in the Presidential Portfolio, features dynamic splashes and splatters of deep blues, greys, and blacks, radiating from a central diamond shape. The controlled chaos of the paint, applied in a gestural manner, creates a sense of movement and spontaneity. Francis’s use of negative space allows the explosive splatters to stand out, highlighting the contrast between the geometric center and the organic forms surrounding it. This limited edition lithograph is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil, printed on BFK Rives paper.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
