Robert Hofherr
Big Gunpowder Falls, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
"Derived from a personal photo, this semi-abstract work attempts to recreate a sunlit autumn stream in Fauvist color and exuberant paint handling," says artist Robert Hofherr. "Other than brushstrokes representing individual leaves in some places, detail was eliminated in favor of the expressive power of paint on canvas. One can almost hear the water rippling with eyes closed."


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.
