I have long appreciated Hans Hofmann’s work as both an artist and an influential teacher to an early generation of abstractionists. Last Saturday, my husband and I went to see this small show of his at the Yale Art Gallery, which is up until June. In this post, you can get the gist of the show, his work as a colorist, his bold mark making, and sometimes very thick paint. His painting The Golden Wall at the Art Institute of Chicago is my favorite of his. You can see that painting here.
