Hans Hofmann (1880-1966) is one of the most important figures of post-war American art, for both his own abstract paintings and his influence as the legendary, teacher of generations of artists in Germany, New York, and Provincetown. His presence in New York, a link to the Cubists and Fauves, catalyzed the movement ultimately known as Abstract Expressionism.
This beautiful volume features essays on Hofmann's life and work; excerpts from his own writings; full documentation; and colorplates of works from 1942 to 1965 by this supreme colorist.
