The Lark 1960

"The Lark" (1960) is an abstract painting by German-American artist Hans Hofmann. This vibrant artwork is characterized by bold strokes of color, creating a dynamic interplay of red, green, yellow, and blue hues. The piece showcases Hofmann's signature style, known as "push-and-pull," where colors appear to move towards and away from the viewer, creating a sense of depth and energy within a flat surface. His innovative approach to abstract art revolutionized the art world, influencing generations of artists.
