Description
Sam Francis: A Scientific Study of His Materials and Techniques American artist Sam Francis (1923-1994) was renowned for his vibrant and emotionally charged Abstract Expressionist works. Following a three-year hospitalization, Francis discovered painting as a means of physical therapy, which ultimately became a defining aspect of his career. This book presents the results of an in-depth scientific study of over 40 paintings from the late 1940s to early 1990s, shedding new light on Francis's creative process and inventive techniques. The study reveals details about Francis's specially formulated paints and binders, as well as the evolution of his work. By analyzing these materials and methods, art historians can gain a deeper understanding of Francis's artistic development and original interpretations of his oeuvre. This volume offers a unique insight into the life and work of one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, providing valuable information for conservators, art historians, and enthusiasts alike.
