Robert Hofherr
Family Ties, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Robert Hofherr illustrates an expressionist portrait of a Victorian family and their pet dog. Influenced by similar works of Picasso, this interpretation of a vintage formal photo transforms using color and expressive rendering. The interaction of the shapes and colors becomes the main point of interest. "The actual people in the painting are no longer important," says Robert. He uses a more unconventional palette by excluding true red and blue tones.


About the Artist
Robert Hofherr avoids depicting a landscape exactly as he sees it or as the viewer might expect. Instead, he enjoys reimagining landscapes and painting his pieces indoors at a fairly rapid pace. The works of French Fauve artists Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain initially got him interested in painting, and also influenced his decision to not use grey in his works. During his free time he enjoys spending time with his kids, walking his dogs and taking road trips to out-of-way places in the mid-Atlantic region. He currently lives in Maryland.
