Hans Hofmann: Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings

from the epigraph, page 7(?) Volume One, (no page numbers here):"My aim in painting as in art in general is to create pulsating, luminous and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, determined exclusively through painterly development, and in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of light and nature."(Page 74: "Quotation by Hans Hofmann is from an interview published in Katharine Kuh, 'The Artist's Voice: Talks with Seventeen Artists,' (New York: Harper & Row, 1962), 128.")And so it is with Mr. Hofmann's beautiful paintings in these three volumes (along with a lot of other famous artists paintings included).If you have any interest in Mr. Hofmann, as other reviewers have said, Hans Hofmann delivers. Buy this three volume set, and enjoy it.

I am a real Hofmann fan, so for me, this catalogue is a must have. It is not a book I would sit down and read -- but it is great for browsing.I do wish there were more large reproductions of Hans Hofmann's work.

My vendor sent me a damaged set. Regardless, the publication, printing, etc are worth the price of admission. Otherwise , I would have shoved this ripped-up slipcase -well you have an idea of my vendor sentiments.

Perfect. Exactly as promised

Fantastic!!!

EXCELLENT

Exceeded all expectations, scholarship has a new benchmark. Lavish illustrations, beautifully designed volume, a cornerstone of any library collection.

Great value for money. Despite the expense it has so much info numerous paintings of Hans Hofmann’s that are not on the internet.

A major work. Beatifully illustrated . Excellent material
