The name Hans Hofmann is synonymous
with the style of painting known as "The New York School". Beginning
during a teaching trip to California in the early 1930s, Hofmann was
forced to remain in the United States to evaded the Nazi forces taking
over his homeland. By 1933 he found himself in New York City. Needing
to earn a livelihood he reestablished his school of fine arts in
Greenwich Village. Over the next twenty-five years he influenced and
introduced his hundreds of students to the ideas of European Modernism,
and established a reputation for himself as an essential member of the
Abstract Expressionists. This exhibition feature works, mostly from the
1940s.
