DESCRIPTION:Born in San Mateo in 1923\, Sam Francis began his painting care
 er after a serious illness contracted while training in the Army Air Corps
  left him immobilized in a Northern California hospital for a few years. D
 uring this period of recuperation\, Francis studied with the artist David 
 Park\, who later became a key figure of the Bay Area figurative movement. 
 Painting became\, for Francis\, a “way back to life.” In the late 1940
 s\, he returned to the University of California\, Berkeley to study painti
 ng and art history before moving to Paris in 1950\, where he remained for 
 twelve years. He first traveled to Japan in 1957 and subsequently spent si
 gnificant periods of his life there. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s\, Fran
 cis was one of the most well-known American artists of his generation in W
 estern Europe and Japan.  \n\nThe exhibition highlights Francis’ multifa
 ceted connection to Palo Alto and the Anderson family. Though he was famil
 iar with this area as it was his birthplace\, it was not until the early 1
 970s that Francis began making frequent trips to Palo Alto from his home i
 n Santa Monica to create prints at 3EP\, a printing press founded by galle
 rist Paula Kirkeby\, artist Joseph Goldyne\, and collector Mary Margaret (
 Moo) Anderson. In 1986\, Francis established his own studio near Stanford 
 University\, in a former spray shop for cars that he transformed into a wo
 rk sanctuary. Francis’ artistic output energized Palo Alto during these 
 decades\, and his work became widely represented in local collections.\n\n
 This exhibition is organized by the Anderson Collection at Stanford Univer
 sity\, with research and writing by Emily Chun\, PhD candidate in Art Hist
 ory at Stanford. We gratefully acknowledge the lenders and support from th
 e Sam Francis Foundation\, museum members\, and the Anderson family. We th
 ank Mitchell Johnson\, Stefan Kirkeby\, Nancy Mozur\, Putter Pence\, and J

DESCRIPTION:Born in San Mateo in 1923\, Sam Francis began his painting care
 er after a serious illness contracted while training in the Army Air Corps
  left him immobilized in a Northern California hospital for a few years. D
 uring this period of recuperation\, Francis studied with the artist David 
 Park\, who later became a key figure of the Bay Area figurative movement. 
 Painting became\, for Francis\, a “way back to life.” In the late 1940
 s\, he returned to the University of California\, Berkeley to study painti
 ng and art history before moving to Paris in 1950\, where he remained for 
 twelve years. He first traveled to Japan in 1957 and subsequently spent si
 gnificant periods of his life there. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s\, Fran
 cis was one of the most well-known American artists of his generation in W
 estern Europe and Japan.  \n\nThe exhibition highlights Francis’ multifa
 ceted connection to Palo Alto and the Anderson family. Though he was famil
 iar with this area as it was his birthplace\, it was not until the early 1
 970s that Francis began making frequent trips to Palo Alto from his home i
 n Santa Monica to create prints at 3EP\, a printing press founded by galle
 rist Paula Kirkeby\, artist Joseph Goldyne\, and collector Mary Margaret (
 Moo) Anderson. In 1986\, Francis established his own studio near Stanford 
 University\, in a former spray shop for cars that he transformed into a wo
 rk sanctuary. Francis’ artistic output energized Palo Alto during these 
 decades\, and his work became widely represented in local collections.\n\n
 This exhibition is organized by the Anderson Collection at Stanford Univer
 sity\, with research and writing by Emily Chun\, PhD candidate in Art Hist
 ory at Stanford. We gratefully acknowledge the lenders and support from th
 e Sam Francis Foundation\, museum members\, and the Anderson family. We th

DESCRIPTION:Born in San Mateo in 1923\, Sam Francis began his painting care
 er after a serious illness contracted while training in the Army Air Corps
  left him immobilized in a Northern California hospital for a few years. D
 uring this period of recuperation\, Francis studied with the artist David 
 Park\, who later became a key figure of the Bay Area figurative movement. 
 Painting became\, for Francis\, a “way back to life.” In the late 1940
 s\, he returned to the University of California\, Berkeley to study painti
 ng and art history before moving to Paris in 1950\, where he remained for 
 twelve years. He first traveled to Japan in 1957 and subsequently spent si
 gnificant periods of his life there. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s\, Fran
 cis was one of the most well-known American artists of his generation in W
 estern Europe and Japan.  \n\nThe exhibition highlights Francis’ multifa
 ceted connection to Palo Alto and the Anderson family. Though he was famil
 iar with this area as it was his birthplace\, it was not until the early 1
 970s that Francis began making frequent trips to Palo Alto from his home i
 n Santa Monica to create prints at 3EP\, a printing press founded by galle
 rist Paula Kirkeby\, artist Joseph Goldyne\, and collector Mary Margaret (
 Moo) Anderson. In 1986\, Francis established his own studio near Stanford 
 University\, in a former spray shop for cars that he transformed into a wo
 rk sanctuary. Francis’ artistic output energized Palo Alto during these 
 decades\, and his work became widely represented in local collections.\n\n
 This exhibition is organized by the Anderson Collection at Stanford Univer
 sity\, with research and writing by Emily Chun\, PhD candidate in Art Hist
 ory at Stanford. We gratefully acknowledge the lenders and support from th
 e Sam Francis Foundation\, museum members\, and the Anderson family. We th
 ank Mitchell Johnson\, Stefan Kirkeby\, Nancy Mozur\, Putter Pence\, and J
