Cold Morning, Original Painting

2021

Artist Comments
A cabin situated on a snow-covered mountainside emits smoke into a purple-tinted sky. With bold painterly strokes, artist Robert Hofherr creates movement amidst the calm. "This expressive study is a vision of a simpler time before the internal combustion engine," states Robert. "Although the cold winter day might suggest otherwise, there is plenty of color in the piece."

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.
