About the work
Francis's special feel for the transparency inherent in color lithography is exemplified by this print, made during his first Tamarind fellowship. His method of developing a print without a preliminary drawing invited variations, frequently resulting in more than one version of a particular image. The Tamarind fellowship marked the painter's increasing concern with lithography. By 1970, Francis was so committed to making prints as an integral part of his studio practice that he established his own print shop, which he called the Litho Shop Inc.
