Sam Francis schätzte das Oeuvre der großen Bildhauer Alberto Giacometti, Niki de Saint Phalle und Jean Tinguely, mit denen er auch befreundet war. Vermutlich inspirierten sie ihn zu seiner eigenen bildhauerischen Arbeit. Erste Skulpturen fertigte Francis zunächst in den 1960er Jahren in Japan an. Dann setzte er sich ab Ende der 1970er Jahren wieder mit der bildhauerischen Arbeit auseinander. Dabei entwickelte er seine dreidimensionalen Objekte oftmals aus zweidimensionalen Skulptur-Zeichnungen heraus.
Das hier vorgestellte Werk wirkt wie ein im Raum "eingefrorener" Pinselstrich: Die Dynamik des malerischen Gestus' hält Francis hier auf eindrucksvolle Weise allumsichtig fest. Auch seine Liebe zur Kalligraphie ist in dieser Arbeit spürbar. So mündet das mittels der Linienführung kreierte Spannungsfeld durch die Ausgewogenheit der Proportionen in einer Form-vollendeten Harmonie
