    Comments

    Magnificent, colour-intensive large work in painting and "drip technique", which was probably created on the floor of his new studio in Santa Monica or in Tokyo

    The Fujita San in question is presumably Shinichiro Fujita, the director of the Ohara Museum at the time, whom Sam Francis probably met through the Minami Gallery in Tokyo
