Hans Hofmann (1880 – 1966)
Hans Hofmann (1880-1966): Tysk-amerikansk maler & indflydelsesrig lærer, der brobyggede europæisk modernisme til amerikansk abstrakt ekspressionisme med levende farveflader og 'push/pull'-teorien.
This work is often considered exemplary of Hofmann’s late style. Using the structure of Mondrian’s compositions of the 1920s, Hofmann added qualities that Mondrian suppressed: exuberant color and rich effects of texture. Hofmann taught for many years at Provincetown, Mass., where he inspired scores of faithful students, among them Giorgio Cavallon, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, and Alfred Leslie.
