Screenprint on wove paper - Signed and numbered in pencil, with studio blindstamp // Sam Francis’ Web (SFS-136) (1972) is a screenprint that captures his signature exploration of color and abstraction. This vibrant piece features splashes and drips of primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—scattered across a white background. The composition’s spontaneous arrangement of layered, overlapping hues gives it a dynamic, almost pulsating energy. Resembling cosmic clusters or interconnected webs, the shapes evoke both chaos and cohesion, drawing the viewer into a visual experience of controlled randomness. Printed on wove paper and signed with a studio blindstamp, this work exemplifies Francis’ ability to translate the essence of action painting into printmaking, offering a bold interplay of color and form.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
