To Miz - Pax Vobiscum 1964

"To Miz - Pax Vobiscum" (1964) is a vibrant, abstract oil painting by the German-American artist Hans Hofmann. This work, now in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, is characteristic of his "push and pull" style. Hofmann believed that color itself could create form, using the juxtaposition of pure colors, like the vibrant red, yellow, and green in "To Miz - Pax Vobiscum", to create a sense of depth and movement. His abstract style influenced many of the great American abstract artists.
