Untitled from Pasadena Box Lembark L57 — Fine Art

Untitled from Pasadena Box Lembark L57 opens on broad colour washes laid over a wide white field. Sam Francis leaves the paint thin so the edges stay loose and the white space keeps breathing. The marks spread in open pools rather than tight lines.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The paper has a matte surface, so the pale colour stays flat and there is no shine when a lamp sits nearby. The frame holds the print flat and the back panel keeps it square on the wall.

In a dining room on the wall above a side table, you see the big colour shapes first. Step closer and the thin edges become clear. From the doorway the open white field stays bright and the framed surface reads as one calm shape.
