Color Creates Light Studies with Hans Hofmann brings together the man, the schools, the painting, the ideas, and the teaching. Jed Perl of The New Republic calls this book "enormously important... nothing less than the missing chapter in the history of the period," for Hofmann's decade of painting in Paris prior to World War I, combined with his observations of the masters of all cultures, enabled him to explain Cubism to the avant-garde and catalyzed the later Abstract Expressionism.
In the ateliers of German emigrant Hans Hofmann (1880-1966) in Munich, New York and Provincetown, talented students later to become some of the most significant artists and educators of the time rubbed shoulders with critics, collectors, and curators, who in turn transmitted and transmuted Hofmann s ideas across Europe, America, Canada, and beyond. From how Hofmann taught to what he taught, artists talk shop about the inner workings of the visual language, required reading for those engaged in creative composition, whether visual, verbal, musical, architectural, cinematic, or choreographic.

"I treasure this book. The interviews with students made Hofmann's teachings on picture plane and color so much clearer. I paint and teach and both occupations will be better for having read the book. I read it straight through and will be so glad to have it to return to."

Color Creates Light Studies with Hans Hofmann Tina Dickey 9780986651106 Books Reviews
- I studied last year at the ASL in NYC with a former student of the artist Vytlacil named in this book, so reading this book, in part describing the historical moments, in part describing the HH's "theories" was very exciting for me. The author was so good to merge the two aspects and make both of them interesting and charming. Interesting and charming for the artistic ideas related to HH's teaching through the words of his former students and charming for the description of the cultural and social atmosphere surrounding the Hofmann's group a sort of greek agora' of the classical time where people where gathering to discuss about different aspects of culture.
I really feel to suggest this book to everyone interested in that artistic development but also to art in general because it may help to clarify what art is and what mere decoration is.
Anyway I suggest this book to the interested reader and compliments to Tina Dickey to have put together such an interesting book. - This book provides insight on the teachings of Hans Hofmann from the mouths of his students. Artists that studied with him are explaining his ideas in their own words and "paint a picture" that artists of today can understand and apply in their own work. I think that it has already affected the way I look at my own abstract paintings. I ask myself different questions. The book is also an interesting and very complete biography of Hans. I now have a much better understanding of the development of abstract painting. The images of his work are great. The book was really much more than I expected. Thank you, Tina Dickey for a wonderful and important book. Anna Lee Steed
- Hoffman remains a solid, stable figure in the wonderful 20th Century storm of Abstraction and Expressionism...
- Tina Dickey made me want to follow the life of Hans Hofmann, his early life, teachings, student influences. I was inspired to have a number of my artist friends all purchase a copy of Color Creates Light Studies with Hans Hofmann....We have been having a running dialogue about every art theory debate you can think off....My special thanks to Ms Dickey for her generosity of spirit, passion, and long term friendships.....
- I treasure this book. The interviews with students made Hofmann's teachings on picture plane and color so much clearer. I paint and teach and both occupations will be better for having read the book. I read it straight through and will be so glad to have it to return to.
- It is inspiring ,if you are an artist. It was bought for the theories on color, not for his form of painting . Beautiful heavy,
heavy book. - I bought this because I wished to learn something more about his teaching.
But, it is more on the side of being a fairly comprehensive and densely written historical biography. To be fair, I've only gotten through the first quarter of the book, and I love the pictures and thoughts about him interacting with people. Maybe more lesson-like thoughts will come later? Anyway, his methods in painting tend to be more about changing an artist's perspective to see their work in a new way. I will continue to punch away at this, since it is interesting work he was doing. - This is a must have text if you know about Hans Hofmann and if you do not and want to learn about his work as well as his teaching.
