"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

"Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all."

"My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of life and nature."

Life

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel."

Colors

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony."

"Through a painting we can see the whole world."

Painting

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"It makes no difference whether a work is naturalistic or abstract; every visual expression follows the same fundamental laws."

Work

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic."

Hans Hofmann
"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."

Ability

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"To worship the product and ignore its development leads to dilettantism and reaction."

Development

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world."

Nature
