"Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced."
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."
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."

Hans Hofmann

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann

Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"When the impulses which stir us to profound emotion are integrated with the medium of expression, every interview of the soul may become art. This is contingent upon mastery of the medium."
Quote_1.png
Hans Hofmann
"What goes on in abstract art is the proclaiming of aesthetic principles... It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations. Art never can be imitation."
Quote_1.png
