What is the significance of the blue palette in Around the Blues?
Sam Francis viewed blue as the color of space and infinity. This work reflects his fascination with light and the 'ma' (negative space), creating a rhythmic dance of color that feels both spontaneous and structured.
Was Sam Francis part of the Abstract Expressionist movement?
Yes, though he is often categorized under Lyrical Abstraction. His work bridges the gap between the raw power of Action Painting and the atmospheric depth of Color Field artists.
