He served in the United States Air Force during World War II before suffering a plane crash. He was in hospital for several years, and it was while there that he began to paint. Once out of hospital he returned to Berkeley, this time to study art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrancis was initially influenced by the work of abstract expressionists such as Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky and Clyfford Still. He spent the 1950s in Paris, having his first exhibition there in 1952. While there he became associated with Tachisme. He later spent time in Japan, and some have seen an influence from Zen Buddhism in his work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrancis spent some time in Paris executing entirely monochromatic works, but his mature pieces are generally large oil paintings with splashed or splattered areas of bright contrasting colour. Areas of white canvas are often left to show through, and in later works, paint is sometimes confined to the edges of the canvas. Nice addition to anyone who appreciate art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Value","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23566078705722,"sku":"","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/amit-rct.myshopify.com\/products\/sam-francis-gz123pack-swatch-watch","provider":"Value","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
