I've been enjoying reading more about the life of Hans Hofmann in Cynthia Goodman's biography. Plus, in my travels, I have seen some of Hofmann's paintings in person. Brilliant color. Color fields. A sense of push/pull.
One afternoon, as I sketched the views outside the window, I thought of what I have read and seen of Hofmann's work. It changed how I drew, the colors I chose, and how I arranged the shapes.
Do you like Hans Hofmann?

Love what you have done here. Such a new and wonderful perspective.
I couldn't stand it, I had to buy the book. Looking forward to a new perspective. Thanks!
On my list! Looks like a well illustrated book.
I greatly admire the way you worked in a Hoffman inspired style. Cool.
Yes, i have Goodman's book Hofmann is a magician. I've stared at his stuff long enough to see after-images. They work, too!
I've always liked the blocks in your sketchbook. This Hofmann page makes a very pleasing color pattern.
Are you home from you roadtrip yet?
Dori: You will love the book!
Casey: great to go back to the teacher of WK, so much to learn.
Sam: the Hofmann brights were a joy to work with in the sketchbook and plan to work with them in the studio when I get home, in the Spring.
