Art is something absolute, something positive, which gives power just as food gives power. While creative science is a mental food, art is the satisfaction of the soul (Hans Hofmann Quotes)
Since light is best expressed through differences in color quality, color should not be handled as a tonal gradation, to produce the effect of light (Hans Hofmann Quotes)
Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world (Hans Hofmann Quotes)
