The splendid view of lake mirroring the beautiful blue of the sky filled with pure white clouds. The mountains seem patiently holding the water in their lap as though watching, mesmerized by the beauty of the whole combination!

Identity
BY W. S. MERWIN
When Hans Hofmann became a hedgehog
somewhere in a Germany that has
vanished with its forests and hedgerows
Shakespeare would have been a young actor
starting out in a country that was
only a word to Hans who had learned
from those who had painted animals
only from hearing tales about them
without ever setting eyes on them
or from corpses with the lingering
light mute and deathly still forever
held fast in the fur or the feathers
hanging or lying on a table
and he had learned from others who had
arranged the corpses of animals
as though they were still alive in full
flight or on their way but this hedgehog
was there in the same life as his own
looking around at him with his brush
of camel hair and his stretched parchment
of sheepskin as he turned to each sharp
particular quill and every black
whisker on the long live snout and those
flat clawed feet made only for trundling
and for feeling along the dark undersides
of stones and as Hans took them in he
turned into the Hans that we would see

Ennio Morricone: “March Of The Beggars”
from Sergio Leone’s “Giù la testa” (1971)
there are four different Red in the background, and painted on the number 2016, there are nine different colors of Yellow/Green/Cyan… can your computer display or mobile show and differentiate all those colors ?
"Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony."―Hans Hofmann
Happy Colorful and Inspiring New Year 2016 !!!!!
Today was a glorious sunny day, a paradise! I took so many beautiful shots, full of colours and life.
And I will keep them to brighten up all the foggy days.
I took this shot during I walk this morning, after I finished at school.
If you take a wonder through my stream you will see that I LOVE colour, so I thought this Hans Hofmann quote was perfect for the ODC theme "The whole world as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color".
This was another one I took yesterday for the quoted theme, but I was unsure of the composition of it when I transferred it to Lightroom, something just did not look right to me, but I did love the colour and the quote, hence I have decided to post it anyway.
I hope you are all having a fantastic Thursday x
Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic.

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”—Hofmann
Hans Hofmann (March 21, 1880 – February 17, 1966) was a German-born American abstract expressionist painter. He believed that abstract art was a way to get at the important reality.
Starting at a young age, Hofmann gravitated towards science and mathematics. At age sixteen, he started work with the Bavarian government as assistant to the director of Public Works where he was able to increase his knowledge of mathematics. He went on to develop and patent such devices as the electromagnetic comptometer, a radar device for ships at sea, a sensitized light bulb, and a portable freezer unit for military use. Even with such great abilities in science and mathematics, Hofmann became interested in creative studies, beginning educational art training after the death of his father.
Hofmann’s art work is distinguished by a rigorous concern with pictorial structure, spatial illusion, and color relationships.

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.” – Aaron Rose

“The substance of painting is light.” – Andre Derain
“What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.” – John Berger
“Wherever there is light, one can photograph.” – Alfred Stieglitz
“In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.” – Hans Hofmann

“In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.” – Sir Francis Bacon

this was composed from numerous marker drawings on transluscent mylar sheets of a still life from various stations around the display. They were compiled to make the final drawing. A pretty strict class assignment... that gave me a real case of artharitis so I was not too pleased with it at the time. My classmates said it was amazing. I was not convinced but looking at it now... I start to see their point. But I can also appreciate how Bernie Wrightson did serious damage to his hands drawing Frankenstein.
The way this graffiti was covered up reminded me of work done by Hans Hofmann. The colors either pushing or pulling to create the illusion of space.
