Autumn Gold 1957

"Autumn Gold" (1957) is a vibrant oil painting by American abstract artist Hans Hofmann, known for his contributions to Abstract Expressionism. This work, created during his later career, showcases Hofmann's signature style, using bold, contrasting colors and gestural brushstrokes to create a dynamic composition. It's a quintessential example of Hofmann's "push-and-pull" technique, where he uses color and form to create an illusion of depth and movement. The painting is characterized by a vibrant palette of reds, greens, blues, and yellows, with a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and organic forms. This captivating piece is a testament to Hofmann's profound understanding of color and his innovative approach to abstract painting.
