LOCAL>> Gabrielle Selz – Light on Fire: The Life and Art of Sam Francis

In conversation with Paul Wilner

A revelatory and groundbreaking biography of Sam Francis, one of the 20th century’s most celebrated artists, and the American painter who brought the vocabulary of abstract expressionism to Paris.

Drawing on exclusive interviews and private correspondence, Gabrielle Selz‘s Light on Fire traces the extraordinary life of Sam Francis: a complex and charismatic artist who first learned to paint as a former air-corps pilot encased for three years in a full-body cast.
