Label TextThe leading Abstract Expressionist painter from Southern California, Francis developed his style in Europe after World War II, influenced by Jean Dubuffet and "L’art brut." In his distinctive gestural work, he used bright, translucent colors reminiscent of stained glass. Francis strove for these jewel-like hues in his watercolors, acrylic paintings, and in the colors of his lithographic inks.ProvenanceSam Francis Foundation
