Paysage is a bright, dynamic abstract landscape by the American painter Hans Hofmann. The medium of casein (a dairy-based pigment) gives the work a luminous appearance. This painting was created in 1935, the year that Hofmann established his Provincetown school. A 1963 MoMA catalogue describes how his 1935 paintings came "after a long period working only on drawings."
