汉斯·霍夫曼（Hans Hofmann，1880-1966年）是一位著名的抽象表现主义画家，也是20世纪最有影响力的艺术教师之一。虽然他的绘画作品已经成为许多展览和出版物的主题，但他的纸上作品相对来说却鲜为人知，尽管这些作品对他的艺术实践以及他的风格和技巧的演变有非常重要。这是第一本专门介绍霍夫曼纸上作品的足本书籍，为欣赏这位战后艺术巨人的成就提供了宝贵的新视角。来自他漫长的职业生涯的50多幅多个体裁的作品——包括自画像、具象研究、室内装饰、风景和抽象画，都以彩色插图的形式呈现在读者面前。此外，不同阶段的作品，从粗略的草图到抛光的作品，都能让人看到霍夫曼的创作方法和创作过程。

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.
