About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Robert Hofherr presents an energetic rendering of a city scene. The fauvist colors and expressionist paintwork creates a memorable image. "The drawing style has been simplified, and the actual perspective altered to suit the needs of the composition," says Robert. He paints repetitive linear elements to contribute to the overall visual consistency of 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.
