<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>Executed in mixed media on paper, <em>The Indian</em> from 1944 showcases Hofmann’s ability to offer a powerful interplay between abstraction and figuration. Surrounded by an atmospheric expanse of deep blues and punctuated by vivid accents of red and yellow, the central form suggests the stylized head of a Native American. Shaped not by direct detailing techniques but subtractive reduction, Hofmann shaped the figure by enclosing it with dynamic strokes of the deep blue surround, punctuated by vivid reds and yellows, as if carving the form out of the surrounding space.

أميرينجر ماكنيري يوهي، نيويورك
مجموعة خاصة، نيوجيرسي
تُظهِر لوحة "الهندي من عام 1944" المنفذة بالوسائط المختلطة على الورق قدرة هوفمان على تقديم تفاعل قوي بين التجريد والتشخيص. ويوحي الشكل المركزي، المحاط بمساحة من الألوان الزرقاء العميقة التي تتخللها لمسات زاهية من اللونين الأحمر والأصفر، برأس منمق لأحد الأمريكيين الأصليين. لم يشكّل هوفمان الشكل من خلال تقنيات التفصيل المباشر بل من خلال الاختزال الطرحي، حيث قام بتشكيل الشكل من خلال إحاطة الشكل بضربات ديناميكية من اللون الأزرق الغامق المحيط، تتخللها لمسات من اللونين الأحمر والأصفر الزاهيين، كما لو كان نحت الشكل من الفضاء المحيط. يؤكد هذا الأسلوب على حضور الشكل مع السماح له بالبقاء غامضاً ومعلقاً في مزيج من العلامات الإيمائية الجريئة.





إن التوتر بين الشكل المركزي وخلفيته النابضة بالحياة يجسد انتقال هوفمان خلال الأربعينيات من الصرامة التكعيبية إلى تقنيات تعبيرية أكثر تحرراً. تجسد لوحة "الهندي" طاقة هذه الفترة المحورية، حيث يعكس تجريدها متعدد الطبقات وإيحاءاتها الرمزية قدرة هوفمان على الجمع بين العفوية الإيمائية والتوازن التركيبي المدروس.
