About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1981 lithograph by Sam Francis, one of a portfolio of eight prints. It is held at The Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The print features a dark central square containing a warm, indistinct shape, surrounded by splattered paint in blue, red, and yellow on a white background. The colors clash and mix in a way that doesn't directly reference the natural world.
Technique & Style
The lithograph's loose, expressive style is characterized by thrown and dripped paint, resulting in varied textures and densities. The artist's non-representational approach emphasizes the physicality of the printmaking process.
