Ensayo del lote

"Hofmann’s late work continued a seamless evolution from previous lines of development… His earlier involvement with color, shape, composition and meaning now found new vehicles of expression, but did not change course. Instead, these new elements now attained an even more irresistible synthesis." Paul Moorhouse (P. Moorhouse, “The Structure of Imagination: Hofmann’s Late Paintings,” Hans Hofmann Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings, Volume I, pp. 55-56).
