Little Cherry 1965

"Little Cherry," a 1965 oil painting by Hans Hofmann, is a prime example of his abstract expressionist style. Hofmann, known for his exploration of color and form, uses a limited palette of browns and white to create a dynamic interplay of shapes and textures. The central, irregularly shaped mass appears to float against a white background, evoking a sense of depth and movement. This piece, measuring 216 x 199 cm, demonstrates Hofmann's mastery of gestural brushstrokes and his innovative approach to abstract art.
