Green Buddha

"Green Buddha" by Sam Francis (1977) exemplifies his mastery within the Abstract expressionism genre. Known for his vibrant Canvas works and innovative use of Acrylic paints, Francis creates dynamic compositions characterized by bold colors and spontaneous gestures. The title suggests a focus on color symbolism and contemplative presence, while the work’s style remains firmly rooted in Abstract art, emphasizing emotion and openness over figurative representation. With its rich layers and energetic execution, the piece highlights Francis’s distinctive style and commitment to expressive abstraction.
