Hans Hofmann

Bouquet
c. 1932

A vibrant expressionist painting depicting a bouquet of colorful flowers in a red vase, set against a deep blue background. The flowers, in shades of yellow, white, and red, emerge from lush green foliage. Below the vase, there is an array of abstractly represented objects, including a piece of fruit and what appears to be a draped cloth, rendered in bold strokes of red, blue, green, and white. The painting has a textured, impasto appearance, conveying a sense of dynamic movement and vivid color contrasts.
