Bibliografia
Daco-Verlag Gόnter Blδse, The Monotypes of Sam Francis, Stoccarda, 1994, pp. 142-143
'The birth of a monotype is more like a cataclysm. In the making of these prints, Francis uses presses of enormous power, and the color and the paper are fused together in a moment of volcanic magnitude, generating poisonous fumes and great heat. A certain number of required elements are assembled, and in a few seconds the new thing emerges'.
Pontus Hulten
