Where Pollock bewitches, expending terrific energy on achieving images of unearthly calm; where de kooning’s twitching, slipping brushstrokes make different strains and speeds of feeling haltingly cohere, and where Rothko’s painting make fuzzy fields of warm and cool breathe with a kind of beautiful soul-ache, Hofmann’s paintings excite and impress, but rarely move. Despite his advanced age, he joined the so-called “Irascibles,” a group of maverick paintings who gained priceless publicity by writing a letter to New York’s Metroplitan Museum protesting their exdusion.
