汉斯·霍夫曼尼恩(1880-1966)

 
<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>Hans Hofmann's <em>Baal</em> channels the charged energy of its evocative title, rooted in ancient Semitic tradition.

His muscular brushwork also reflects his lifelong experimentation with the tension between form and freedom; undulating lines and biomorphic forms evoke the surrealist influence of Miró and the spiritual resonance of Kandinsky's gestural abstractions. Like these predecessors, Hofmann sought to translate "inner necessity" into visual expression, guided by his fertile imagination. Yet the planal elements and curvilinear shapes of <em>Baal</em> also reflect the influence of improvisational painting, a hallmark of Abstract Expressionism as practiced by contemporaries like Arshile Gorky, among others.

汉斯-霍夫曼(Hans Hofmann)的作品《巴尔》(Baal)传达了其令人回味的标题所蕴含的能量,该标题植根于古代闪米特人的传统。这个名字指的是领主或主人,但也与自然、混沌和创造的原始力量有关。霍夫曼的作品反映了这种双重性,他将结构化的设计与姿态抽象的桀骜不驯的生命力融合在一起,创造出一种在熵和秩序之间摇摆不定的构图。





,《巴尔》是霍夫曼在 65 岁时创作的,这幅作品也展示了霍夫曼在应对本世纪中期抽象画挑战的同时,重新审视早期学科的意愿。这幅画的色调鲜艳,大胆使用互补色,尤其是红色和绿色的并置,增强了画作的动感。他充满肌肉感的笔触也反映出他毕生都在尝试形式与自由之间的张力;起伏的线条和生物形态让人联想到米罗的超现实主义影响和康定斯基手势抽象画的精神共鸣。与这些前辈一样,霍夫曼试图通过丰富的想象力将 "内在需要 "转化为视觉表达。然而,《巴尔》中的平面元素和曲线形状也反映出即兴绘画的影响,这也是同时代的抽象表现主义的标志,如阿尔希莱-高尔基(Arshile Gorky)等人的作品。这是一幅充满动感和活力的作品,寓意着一个流动的宇宙--混乱而又深思熟虑。





,同年在纽约贝蒂-帕森斯画廊展出,《巴尔》标志着霍夫曼作为大师和创新者的演变。这幅画具有生动的活力和象征性的标题,体现了霍夫曼为抽象画注入元素力量的能力,是对形式和色彩的深刻个人探索。
