Hoffman is best known for his colorfully rich and impressionistic landscape scenes from the 20th Centruy. This painting is a wonderful display of his charasmatic paints with a view of "Kartabo, British Guiana" depicted with lush colors and thick use of paint. We are enchanted with the use of viridian green, and light specks of crimsion hiding behind the plush trees. This piece exudes light breathing through the pathway as we discover all of the magical qualities through out. This painting is signed lower center by the artist and it comes housed in a vintage gold tone giltwood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
