Hans Hofmann, (1880–1966)
User Text 1 ""August Light" reveals Hofmann in a precise, geometric mood, although his painting style often extended to a more lyrical style. Here all drawing is eliminated; instead we have rectangles of pure color - bold, simple colors, which seem to move in and out, to "push and pull," through space. Hofmann's color rectangles are thought to show the influence of him of analytical cubism." 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends : inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center (1970), p. 92
