This lot consists of an ink illustration on paper, done in the abstract expressionist style of Hans Hofmann (German-American, 1880-1966). A handwritten inscription at lower left reads "Hans Hofmann". This unframed piece measures approximately 10.75" x 7.75".

Hans Hofmann (German-American, 1880-1966) is regarded as one of the most forward-thinking artists of the 20th century. He is dually remembered for his influence as an art teacher and a painter. Hofmann's dynamic artwork is characterized by its rigorous concern with unity and pictorial structure, as well as bold color and spatial illusionism. His energetic, "push and pull" compositions, full of movement and depth, can be found at most major American museums and in galleries across the world.
