Probably one of the best design ever made for the Swatch Art Collection, the rare and peculiar Sam Francis;
Released in 1992.
Francis was initially influenced by the work of abstract expressionists.
His loose style was most influenced by the work of Jackson Pollock.
His works of the early 1970s have been referred to as Fresh Air pictures. Created by adding pools, drips and splatters of color to wet bands of paint applied with a roller, these works re-asserted the artist's interest in color.
By 1973–4 many of Francis' paintings featured a formal grid or matrix made up of crossing tracks of color. Many of these matrix works were large in scale, measuring up to twenty feet long. This collaboration with Swatch resulted in the creation of an iconic model.
