Hans Hofmann's (1880-1966) vivid paintings of geometric and irregular forms bridged the concerns of early modernist movements with the tenets of Abstract Expressionism that dominated art discourse in the mid-20th century. While he originally worked in a more figurative mode, Hofmann developed a signature style that wove together Cubist forms with the electric color palettes of Fauvism; he was most interested in what he called the "push and pull" between color, form, and space in the picture plane. Hofmann's works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; Tate Gallery, London; the Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Whitney Museum, New York; MoMA, New York; San Francisco MoMA; the MFA Boston; Städtische Galerie, Munich; Museu d'Art Contemporani, Barcelona; and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; among other public and private collections.
