The large lithograph print museum poster is published by The Centre Georges Pompidou Musee national D'art Moderne Paris, printed in France in 1985 by Flammarion, Paris for the Pompidou Collections Permanentes.

Samuel Lewis Francis ( 1923 - 1994 ) was an American Modernist painter and printmaker. He was an important part of the Post War Abstract Expressionist movement among fellow artists including Mark Rothko, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler , who were increasingly interested in the expressive use of color. Francis is credited with helping secure the international recognition for Post War Abstract American painting. His work has been seen most often and best understood in Europe and Japan.

Artworks by Sam Francis have been the subject of more than 200 solo exhibitions. The artworks are included in the international Museum collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art New York, The Kunstmuseum Basel, The Idemitsu Museum of Arts Tokyo, and The Centre Pompidou Musée D'art Moderne Paris among many others.

In the mid 1950's Francis created a succession of monumentally scaled paintings informed by a variety of artistic sources, including Abstract Expressionism and French Impressionism. With their spontaneous brushwork and lyrical interplay of primary hues, these paintings established Francis as one of the foremost colorists of the Post War era. He often found inspiration in literary works and kept a notebook containing titles of books and verses. he named this artwork " In Lovely Blueness No.1 " after a poem by the German Romantic writer Friedrich Holderlin, hoping to capture the poem's sublime imagery and prophetic vision.
