What was Sam Francis’s inspiration for the 'Blue Frame' series?
Sam Francis was deeply influenced by Japanese Zen philosophy and the concept of 'Ma' (the space between). In 'Blue Frame,' he uses the perimeter to define the center, emphasizing that emptiness is just as vital as color in abstract composition.
Why is Sam Francis considered a leader in Lyrical Abstraction?
Unlike the aggressive gestures of New York School artists, Francis utilized fluid, watery applications of paint. His work, like 'Blue Frame,' focuses on the luminosity of color and the emotional resonance of open space and light.
