Deep Within the Ravine 1965

"Deep Within the Ravine" is a 1965 abstract oil painting by German-American artist Hans Hofmann. Characterized by bold strokes and vibrant colors, the painting features a dynamic interplay of shapes and forms, evoking a sense of depth and movement. The work's color palette is dominated by warm hues of orange, green, and blue, creating a sense of energy and vibrancy. Hofmann's signature style, known as "push and pull", is evident in the way he manipulates color and form to create a sense of tension and movement, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas. The painting is a prime example of Hofmann's abstract expressionist style and is considered one of his most significant works.
