Hans Hofmann ( 1880 - 1966 ) The German born artist is one of the most important painters of the Post War Abstract Expressionist movement. His work is distinguished by a rigorous concern with pictorial structure, spatial illusions, and color relationships. He believed that Abstract Art was a way to get at the important reality. He famously stated that " The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary that the necessary can speak ".
He was both an artist and an educator with his own schools of painting in New York and Provincetown. His alumni included Frank Stella, Lee Krasner, Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Ray Eames, Robert De Niro, and John Grillo among many others.
