Hans Hofmann
The career of the German-American painter and educator Hans Hofmann (1880–1966) describes the arc of artistic modernism from pre–World War I Munich and Paris to mid twentieth-century Greenwich Village. His career also traces the transatlantic engagement of modern painting with the materials of its own making, a relationship that is perhaps still not completely understood. In these interrelated narratives, Hofmann is a central protagonist, providing a vital link between nineteenth- and twentieth-century art practice and between European and American modernism. The remarkable vitality of his later work affords insight not only into the style but also the literal substance of this formative...
Hans Hofmann
Hans Hofmann: The Nature of Abstraction offers a fresh and revealing assessment of the artist’s prolific and innovative painterly career. The comprehensive exhibition and accompanying catalogue will feature approximately seventy paintings and works on paper by Hofmann from 1930 through the end of his life in 1966, including works from public and private collections across North America and Europe. Curator Lucinda Barnes builds on new scholarship published over the past ten years and the 2014 catalogue raisonné to present Hofmann as a unique synthesis of student, artist, teacher, and mentor who transcended generations and continents.

The writings of the "dean of the New York School of Abstract-Expressionist Painting." "The creative process lies not in imitating, but in paralleling nature; translating the impulse received from nature into the medium of expression, thus vitalizing this medium. The picture should be alive, the statue should be alive and every work of art should be alive." Thus Hans Hofmann wrote nearly half a century ago. He left the Old World, Germany, for the New, at the age of 50. In 1948, when the retrospective exhibition was held at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Hofmann was 68; he had been in the United States for 18 years, a citizen for seven years. Yet he was scarcely recognized in Europe or A...
Color Creates Light
Hans Hofmann (1880-1966), renowned painter and master teacher, clarified perennial issues in painting, through his observation of the masters of all cultures.Color Creates Light: Studies with Hans Hofmannreveals an astonishing era during which Hofmann's ateliers in Munich, and later in New York and Provincetown, drew talented artists--as well as critics, dealers, collectors, and curators--who in turn transmitted and transmuted his ideas across Europe, America, Canada, and beyond. The decade during which Hofmann painted in Paris before World War I enabled him to explain Cubism to the avant-garde of Munich and New York, catalyzing the later Abstract Expressionism. His interactions with younger generations encouraged the development of some of the most significant artists and educators of the time. Dickey's absorbing account, illustrated with archival photographs and animated by interviews with former students, allows readers the ultimate privilege, to listen as artists talk shop, discussing how Hofmann taught and what he taught--the inner workings of visual language.
