The artwork, named “Cathedral,” was created by Hans Hofmann in 1959. Employing oil as its medium, this piece belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 188 x 122 cm, and it is classified under the abstract genre.
In this artwork, Hofmann utilizes vibrant, bold, and contrasting blocks of color arranged in an asymmetric, harmonious composition. The arrangement of colors, ranging from intense reds, blues, and yellows to more subdued greens and earth tones, forms a dynamic interplay. The visible brush strokes and textured layers of paint add depth and movement to the visual experience. The overall effect is one of profound abstraction, evoking a sense of architectural grandeur and spiritual transcendence, characteristic of the Abstract Expressionism movement.
