One of the foremost painters and teachers in America in the 20th Century, Hans Hofmann is closely associated with Provincetown, spending 32 summers here as an artist. The Hans Hofmann School of Fine Art operated for 24 years from 1932 to 1958, before closing the two schools to paint full time. His students include major painters of the 20th century: Lee Krasner, Larry Rivers, Jan Muller, Nell Blaine, Robert de Niro, Sr.; Wolf Kahn, Paul Resika, and Red Grooms. Hofmann’s teaching significantly contributed to the development of modern painting, especially abstract expressionism. This lecture includes discussion of his theories of art as well as his practices as a teacher.
