Hans Hofmann, a representative of Abstract Expressionism and American Modernism during the 20th century with European roots, had a fundamental influence as a teacher on the development of modern art in America.

From 1904 until 1914, the painter Hans Hofmann (18801966), who was a friend of Picasso, Braque, Matisse, the Fauves and Robert and Sonia Delaunay, witnessed and absorbed the new art in Paris, the centre of European art.

He influenced a new generation of American artists, including Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler and Barnett Newman.
