The painting showcases Francis's signature style of controlled chaos and spontaneous expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSam Francis (1923-1994) was an American painter and printmaker associated with Abstract Expressionism. He is particularly known for his large-scale, colourful abstract paintings. Francis spent time in Paris, where he was influenced by both American Abstract Expressionism and French modernism. His work often features drips, splashes, and washes of colour, creating dynamic and energetic compositions. He explored the use of colour and light, often leaving areas of the canvas bare to allow the colours to breathe. 'Trietto III' exemplifies Francis's style, with its interplay of translucent forms and bold, gestural marks. The composition is built from overlapping shapes in hues of blue, red, and green, punctuated by splatters and drips of paint. A grid-like structure in black provides a contrasting element, adding a sense of depth and complexity to the composition. The overall effect is one of spontaneity and controlled chaos, characteristic of Abstract Expressionist aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-orange-tan-and-purple-mark-rothko\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRed, Orange, Tan and Purple - Mark Rothko — Mark Rothko\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-abstract-composition-ink-on-paper-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Abstract Composition, Ink on Paper) - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sam Francis","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602231599439,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602238153039,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602238185807,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602238218575,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602238251343,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602238284111,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602238316879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602238349647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602238382415,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602238415183,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602238447951,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602238480719,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_8168dd06-d28c-4d3f-9369-da08e84289dc.jpg?v=1777619335"},{"product_id":"blue-with-red-yellow-and-orange-sam-francis","title":"Blue With Red, Yellow and Orange - Sam Francis","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic abstract composition by Sam Francis, focusing on the interplay of primary colours and spatial openness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSam Francis, an American painter associated with the second generation of Abstract Expressionism, developed a distinct visual language that prioritised the interaction of colour and light. His work often features expansive, airy compositions where pigment is applied with a sense of fluidity and openness. This piece reflects his interest in the spatial qualities of the canvas, where the edges of the frame act as a boundary for the internal movement of colour.\n\nIn this composition, Francis employs a restrained palette to explore the relationship between primary hues and the surrounding space. The application of paint suggests a deliberate balance between spontaneity and structure. Unlike the dense, gestural works of his contemporaries, Francis often allowed the white or neutral ground of the canvas to participate in the overall composition, creating a sense of breathability and depth. His time spent in Paris and Japan significantly influenced his approach, leading to a style that bridges Western abstraction with Eastern concepts of negative space.\n\nThe work invites the viewer to observe the subtle variations in tone and the way colour fields interact without the interference of representational forms. By focusing on the physical properties of paint and the luminosity of the surface, Francis creates an environment that is both meditative and visually engaging. This print captures the nuances of his original technique, preserving the delicate transitions and the specific quality of his brushwork. It is a representative example of his mid-century output, where the focus remained on the purity of the medium and the emotional resonance of colour relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-three-black-rectangles-on-purple-mark-rothko\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Three Black Rectangles on Purple) - Mark Rothko — Mark Rothko\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-abstract-composition-ink-on-paper-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Abstract Composition, Ink on Paper) - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sam Francis","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913724600655,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913726042447,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913726075215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913726107983,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913726140751,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Blue-With-Red-Yellow-and-Orange_Poster_CompositorV1_1781400366963.jpg?v=1781409161"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/sam-francis.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
