About
Hans Hofmann was born in Weißenburg, Bavaria, Germany. He was a German-American abstract expressionist painter. His art work is distinguished by a rigorous concern with pictorial structure, spatial illusion, and color relationships. He believed that abstract art was a way to get at the important reality. He opened his first school of painting in Munich in 1915. In 1930 he moved to the United States, where he taught at the Art Students League in New York City and later opened his own Hans Hofmann School of Fine Art, which soon became one of the most prestigious art schools in the country.
