| | Greenberg: Hans Hofmann |
 | | This is an ambition that identifies Hofmann with his own chronological generation of artists and separates him from the generation he actually paints with. | | | Hofmann has not solved all the problems these present, but his being the first to broach them is enough of itself to give him a secure place in the history of painting. | | | I would maintain that the only way to begin placing Hofmann's art is by taking cognizance of the uniqueness of his life's course, which has cut across as many art movements as national boundaries, and put him in several different centers of art at the precise time of their most fruitful activity. |

| | About Hans Hofmann Abbeville Press |
| | Hofmann's personal encounters with the avant-garde in Paris and Germany made him a much more direct and vivid source than the printed page, and it was his original synthesis of this richly complex heritage that made his contributions as both teacher and painter so significant. | | | Hofmann confided to Sam Kootz, his friend and dealer of many years, "If I ever find a style, I'll stop painting." Unfortunately, many mistook this diversity, which was central to Hofmann's creativity, as either indecision or artistic immaturity, a misunderstanding that obscured his artistic prowess. | | | Hans Hofmann was the only artist of the New York School to participate directly in the artistic revolution that took place in Europe during the first two decades of the twentieth century. |

| | Even as he was teaching others, Hans Hofmann continued to pursue his own work, and the income from his schools allowed him to develop as an artist free from commercial pressures. | | | "That Hofmann wished to emphasize the various ways in which he painted is evident in the range of style of the nine Renate paintings," wrote the late Henry Geldzahler, the Museum's first curator of 20th Century Art, in the catalogue to a 1972 exhibition of the series. | | | Hofmann's early work, now lost, was shown in Berlin in 1909 with the Neue Sezession, and in Paris in 1910 in the gallery of Paul Cassirer. |

| | Hans Hofmann: Master of Abstract Expressionism |
| | Although he began his art studies in Munich where a late neoimpressionism was in favor, he was in Paris by 1904, immersed in the radical reformulations of fauvism and cubism. | | | One of the most vital artists and influential teachers of his time, Hans Hofmann distinguished for bringing about a synthesis, in nonobjective mode, of the spatial tenets of cubism and the coloristic gestural paint handling of expressionism. | | | Approaching modernism as a deeply felt commitment transcending the historical moment, Hofmann transmitted to American students concepts of dynamic and plastic composition at a time when the New York art world was ripe for exploring the modernist esthetic. |

The film reveals Hofmann's passion for color, his "push/pull" theory of how color creates space and his insistence on using nature as the basis of all, even abstract, art. | | | Artist Frank Stella called him "the American artist of the 20th century" because of his profound influence on American Abstract Expressionism--through his own painting and, even more, through his 40 years of teaching as-yet-unrecognized artists including Ray Eames, Red Grooms, Wolf Kahn, Lee Krasner, Marisol, Louise Nevelson and thousands of others. | | | Through on-screen interviews with Frank Stella, Red Grooms and other noted artists, writers, poets and friends, the film serves as an explanation of modern art itself. |
