colorfieldsforever: Hans Hofmann, Lucidus Ordo, 1962http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/hans-hofmann/lucidus-ordo-1962 Due to purists and xenophobes, Hofmann was well-known, but rarely appreciated as a painter. Not entirely expressionist, not entirely geometric, Hofmann also had the „fault” of being deeply rooted in European abstract art. But I suppose that there are more people out there nowadays that enjoy without prejudice his well-tuned improvisations. Hardly improvised, as, thanks to his care for composition, he always makes sure to include blocks of pure color over some of the dripped canvas - but that adds to the charm a lot. Most of his paintings are pretty busy, but this is one of his few bright and clear compositions - for instance, his superb „Love Poem”, easily my favorite Hofmann, but I decided for now to showcase its green counterpart - „Lucidus Ordo”.
