In 1909, Hofmann exhibited with the Neue Sezession in Berlin, and in 1910 was given his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Paul Cassirer there. During this period, he painted in a Cubist style. At the outbreak of World War I, Hofmann was in Munich; disqualified from military service due to a lung condition, he remained there and in 1915 opened an art school, which became highly successful. The artist taught at the University of California at Berkeley during the summer of 1930. He returned to teach in California in 1931, and his first exhibition in the United States took place that summer at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco. In 1932, he closed his Munich school and decided to settle in the United States. His first school in New York opened in 1933 and was succeeded in 1934 by the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts; in 1935, he established a summer school in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Arguably, Hofmann's greatest legacy is the dissemination of the theories of European modernism, particularly Expressionism, through his extensive teaching. Born in 1880 in a small town near Munich, Hofmann studied art in Paris, surrounded by such artists as Henri Matisse and Robert Delaunay. In 1915 he returned to Munich, the city of Franz Marc, Wassily Kandinsky, and Alexej von Jawlensky, to open his own internationally known School for Modern Art. After moving to the U.S. in 1930, Hofmann exposed countless American students to European modernism while teaching throughout the country, including in his own Schools of Fine Arts in New York and Provincetown. Hans Hofmann: Real/Life, on view in the Hofmann Gallery, examines the artist's engagement with a pivotal issue of modern art - the role of the real in abstract painting - through comparisons with works by other modern artists including Kandinsky, Delaunay, and Jawlensky. The writings of Hofmann and these artists who fought the ideological battle for abstraction reveal an astounding agreement about equating the real with vitality. A true work of art is described as a living organism capable of a life of its own. Birthed by the artist, it does not need to resemble the world outside, but must be a self-sufficient system with its own laws, harmony, and balance. Thus, the artist is seen not as an imitator of life but as a demiurge breathing spirit into new, independent life. The vibrancy, grandeur, and internal complexity of Hofmann's paintings show his indebtedness to this original tenet of abstraction.

He created a visual tension between impulsive gestural areas and floating geometric forms. Rectangles seem to advance and recede against the ground, inducing a dynamic back and forth in space that epitomizes Hofmann's "push-pull." In a way, Hofmann produced a synthesis of Fauvism and Cubism. Or, in terms of the younger generation of American artists, a synthesis of the gestural painting of Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Franz Kline, and the color-field painting of Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman . . .

WHIRLWIND OF DISTURBANCE: Hans Hofmann Follow Ups Post Followup NY Arts Magazine Features Posted by Piri Halasz on September 06, 19102 at 14:40:46: Image: Hans Hofmann Red Flight, 1953, M-0858, oil on canvas, 48 x 36 in. Courtesy HansHofmann.org WHIRLWIND OF DISTURBANCE by Piri Halasz HANS HOFMANN, edited by James Yohe, with essays by Sam Hunter, Tina Dickey, Frank Stella. Rizzoli, 282 pp., nearly 300 color plates, $125. Most people who know of Hans Hofmann think of him primarily as a great teacher, and indeed he was, especially with the art school that he opened in New York in 1933, and that closed only in 1958, eight years before his death at the age of 85 in 1966. His greatness as a painter is much less well known, but that doesn’t mean it is any the less real. For gallery-goers who have always wondered just what that something is about Hans, this handsome book may help to explain it. For collectors who already know, it should make the perfect stocking-stuffer for Christmas. Even Clement Greenberg had trouble relating to Hofmann’s paintings at first. Though he’d attended lectures given by Hofmann in 1937, and been profoundly influenced by them, he didn’t review Hofmann’s first New York exhibition in 1944 at all, and dealt only briefly and cautiously with the second, suggesting that although the art was "completely relevant," and the artist himself "a force to be reckoned with" nonetheless "Perhaps Hofmann surrenders himself too unreservedly to the medium," and "Perhaps he insists too little on the resistances of his own temperament...." By 1959, when the critic was ready to publish a full-length article about the artist, he was still maintaining that Hofmann was "perhaps the most difficult artist alive." Yet he also considered him "an immensely interesting, original, and rewarding one....."

"The artist's technical problem is how to transform the material with which he works back into the sphere of the spirit." Hackett-Freedman Modern proudly presented an outstanding collection of rarely seen works by abstract exprressionism master Hans Hofmann Yellow Self-Portrait (HOF-044) "The current exhibition is unique in presenting many groundbreaking works painted by Homann in the late 1930s and 1940s," states Curator Alla Efimova in the catalogue essay . It is "the period of his transition from Europe to America—from absorbing the theories of modernism to translating them into his own painterly idiom." Interior with Red and Green Draperies (HOF-052) In these works, Hofmann maintains the primacy of representational forms even as he becomes increasingly bold in his exploration of the "push and pull" of pure form and color within the picture plane. The Artist Version II (HOF-027) In the introductory catalogue essay , art historian and founding director of the Berkeley Art Museum, Peter Selz, states: "For Hofmann, color was the absolute and the dominant aspect of painting. The effect of a painting, he said, was largely dependent on what he called 'tensional relationships'—the opposition of intense hues."

Hans Hofmann: Works and Teachings Robert Sievert Hans Hofmann: "Golden Dust" Hans Hofmann: "Orpheus" Then why does Hofmann's work represent such a problem to others and me? Some love it. It is clearly the demonstration of mastery as far as spatial construction goes. Does it have a great sense of depth? Well, sort of! When one is confronted with a Hofmann canvas, the first impression is a flat space; one does not see the "expansive" space until further regard. Do his paintings convey the sensitivity to form that makes De Kooning so wildly exciting? No! Somehow they seem very blunt and clumsy. The materials do not transcend themselves and the paint remains paint. Paint remaining paint remained a battle cry for many years in the underworld of New York painting. To be in the "New York School" meant to have a certain "weight" of paint. This process oversteps the traditional transformative nature in art by which a daub of paint becomes a pearl or other object. Hofmann was a longtime voice of authority in the "Artist Club," a downtown meeting of New York artists in the heyday of Abstract Expressionism. It is important to distinguish between the teaching and the work of Hans Hofmann. His teaching clearly defined a powerful technique while his painting seemed to be an exposition of his teaching technique combined with an attempt to define the future of art with an admiration for the purity of Mondrian.

Hans Hofmann Technique And Me Robert Sievert Robert Sievert: "Marth's Vineyard Sunrise" Robert Sievert: "Autumn Pond" Robert Sievert: "New York Harbor Plein Aire" As a student I studied with Nicolas Carone, a brilliant artist, who had been a student of Hans Hofmann. What was taught in Nick's class was straight Hofmann technique. We learned how to work from models and still life and create an illusion of three dimensions on a two dimensional plane. The technique involved finding volumes within analytical lines, and learning to flatten the entire design on the plane. Great Art has always been flat, I was told. I struggled with the technique for five years in Nick's classes. We worked only in charcoal and all work was subject to revision by both Nick and myself. I had a hard time witnessing Nick draw over my work and put in revisions. Later I was to learn that Hofmann spoke directly to this issue when he told students that the paper was a learning ground, not a personal expression and was subject to revision by both the teacher and the student. I was very studious and helped run classes, organizing a drawing studio with fellow student Joyce (Sudborough) Sampson. This was the 14th Street Drawing Studio. It became a Mecca for many practicing artists. I remember Paul Jenkins sitting next to me one night. He looked at the work on my pad and shook his head, "This way of drawing concerns itself too much with method" he told me,"It's like trying to have good manners"

93. Greenberg: Hans Hofmann hans hofmann'S ART is recognized increasingly as a major fountainhead of styleand ideas for the new American painting, yet its value, independent of its http://www.sharecom.ca/greenberg/hofmann.html

CLEMENT GREENBERG HOFMANN More than a simple essay in praise of a great artist, this pays tribute to Hofmann's vast influence on American abstraction as well as on Greenberg, himself. Unfortunately, the "omissions" that Greenberg mentions in his first paragraph continue to this day. Hofmann the artist, as opposed to Hofmann the famous teacher, seems never to quite get hs due... TF H ANS H OFMANN'S ART Hofmann himself explains the lateness of his development by the relative complacency fostered in him during his Paris years by the regular support of a patron, and by the time and energy he needed, afterward, to perfect himself as a teacher. But I would suggest, further, that his Paris experience confronted him with too many faits accomplis by artists his own age or only a few years older; that he had to wait until the art movements of those and the inter-war years were spent before making his own move; that he had first to "get over" Fauvism and Cub-ism, and over Kandinsky, Mondrian, Arp, Masson, and Miro as well.
