Biography:
Sam Francis was serving in the US Army Air Corps when he injured his spine during a plane crash. He took up painting in 1944 while recovering in the hospital. Francis moved to Paris in 1950 and studied under Leger. The friends he met, most of who were members of the Art Informel movement, influenced his style. He visited Japan several times and his thin drip technique is reminiscent of Japanese contemplative art. Francis returned to his home state, California, in 1961, eventually settling in Santa Monica. His work took on a Minimalist attitude upon his return to the States. He also produced murals, watercolors, lithographs, and some sculptures.
