Work

I have selected to work with Falling Star created by Sam Francis in 1981. He created this piece as one of a series of eight lithographs for the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts. He uses a primarily dichromatic color scheme, and compositionally, the work consists of overlapping and rotating rectangles surrounded by seemingly random spatter, representing a contrast between order and disorder. I chose this piece because when I was originally researching artwork, the title of this piece was intriguing to me and I wanted to know more about it. Additionally, the piece has very interesting color and composition, which directs the eye towards the center of the piece, evoking curiosity in the audience.
