Pompeii 1959

"Pompeii" is an abstract painting by Hans Hofmann, a German-American artist who was a key figure in the development of abstract expressionism. Created in 1959, the painting is characterized by bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors, with a focus on color relationships and the interplay of form and space. Hofmann's signature style of "push and pull" is evident, where the use of color creates an illusion of depth and movement. "Pompeii" is housed at the Tate Modern in London, showcasing a significant example of Hofmann's later abstract works.
