To mark the centenary of the birth of Sam Francis (1923-1994), Museum JAN pays tribute to this American painter. Francis became known for his paintings featuring expressive colours in a 'controlled chaos' of spots, drops, lines and strokes.

Sam Francis

Francis is often associated with abstract expressionism, a post-war American painting movement, but developed a style of his own after his introduction to European and Oriental (modern) art. The exhibition Homage to Sam Francis features a selection of Francis' work from our own collection, complemented by special loans from art collector and Francis enthusiast Nico Delaive.

Sam Francis 100 | Jan Verschoor 80

Collector and founder of Museum JAN, Jan van der Togt (1905-1995), was a great admirer of Sam Francis' colourful canvases. He assembled one of Europe's largest collections of paintings by Francis. He liked to combine these paintings with his collection of glass art in which he recognised a similar interaction of light, colour and transparency.

80 years

In addition to Francis' work, sculptures by artist and co-founder of this museum, Jan Verschoor (1943), who will be celebrating his 80th birthday this year, are displayed in the exhibition space. His graceful sculptures engage in a dialogue with Francis' explosive and overwhelming paintings.
