On Return by Sam Francis

A burst of white and ochre radiates from the center. This is *On Return*, a painting that draws the eye inward with its luminous core, surrounded by a halo of softer hues. The outer edges are alive with splatters of cobalt and crimson, as if caught in mid-air. The contrast between the dense center and the sparse, energetic periphery creates a sense of movement, like a sudden release of light or energy. The background, a pale wash of violet, holds the composition together with quiet restraint. This poster suits a study or library, where its balance of chaos and calm can be appreciated in moments of reflection.
