“La Primavera Fredda (Cold Spring)” is an artwork created by Sam Francis in 1988. The piece is executed in the mediums of aquatint and etching, and it belongs to the Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction movements. The artwork falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork demonstrates a dynamic interplay of colors and forms, characteristic of Sam Francis’s style. Rich, deep blue hues dominate the composition along its perimeter, purposefully juxtaposed with splashes of bright, warm colors such as red, yellow, and green scattered toward the center. As an abstract work, it does not adhere to a recognizable scene or object but rather evokes an emotional and visual response through its gestural brushwork and vibrant palette. This abstract arrangement invites viewers to explore their own interpretations, immersed in the emotion and energy that “La Primavera Fredda” exudes.
