“To Miz – Pax Vobiscum,” crafted by artist Hans Hofmann in 1964, is an oil painting rendered in the abstract expressionist style. The artwork, currently housed in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in Texas, measures 196.5 x 212.4 cm and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork is characterized by a dynamic arrangement of geometric shapes and vibrant color blocks. Predominantly featuring squares and rectangles, Hofmann employs a bold palette including deep blue, bright red, vivid green, energetic yellow, and a subtle cream. The juxtaposition of these contrasting colors, overlaying and abutting one another, generates a sense of depth and movement. The abstract configuration, with its interplay of colors and forms, reflects the hallmarks of Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing spontaneous, emotive, and intense visual experiences.
