Coral Lyre Nine

"Coral Lyre Nine" by Sam Francis (1972) exemplifies his mastery within the Abstract and Abstract expressionism movements. As an influential American artist, Francis was known for his vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and innovative techniques. This work, created as a screenprint, showcases his signature approach—bold, sweeping fields of color that evoke emotion and movement. The playful title suggests a poetic or musical quality, while the visual language emphasizes spontaneity and expressive abstraction, hallmark traits of his style that continue to define modern Abstract art.
