"Astral Nebula" (1961) by Hans Hofmann is an abstract painting that showcases the artist's signature "push-pull" technique. The artwork utilizes a white background with splashes of vibrant blue paint, suggesting a cosmic explosion or celestial phenomenon. This abstract composition, painted in a gestural style, exemplifies Hofmann's exploration of color interaction, spatial depth, and the interplay of positive and negative space. This piece is currently housed in the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany.
