Hans Hofmann (1880–1966) was an acclaimed Abstract Expressionist and one of the most influential art teachers of the 20th century. While his paintings have been the subject of many exhibitions and publications, his works on paper are comparatively little known, despite how central they were to his artistic practice and to the evolution of his style and technique. This is the first full-length book devoted to Hofmann’s works on paper, presenting a valuable new perspective from which to appreciate the achievements of this giant of postwar art. More than fifty examples from across his long career and from many genres—including self-portraits, figural studies, interiors, landscapes, and abstractions—are all attractively illustrated in color. In addition, works in different stages of finish, from rough sketches to polished pieces, offer an intimate glimpse into Hofmann’s methods and creative process.  

汉斯·霍夫曼（Hans Hofmann，1880–1966年）是抽象表现主义艺术的先驱。这位从德国来到美国的艺术家和艺术教育家，为美国前卫艺术的振兴作出了重要贡献。尽管他的油画已成为许多展览和出版物的主题，但他的纸上作品相对鲜为人知，尽管它们对他的艺术实践以及他的风格和技术的发展至关重要。该目录首次专门介绍霍夫曼的纸上作品，为艺术家的创作过程提供了宝贵的一瞥，并提供了一个新的视角来欣赏他作为抽象表现主义者的成就。
