AFTERNOON REHEARSAL Signed Lithograph, Ballerinas, Tulle TuTu

1995

About the Item

AFTERNOON REHEARSAL is an original hand drawn lithograph(not a photo reproduction or digital print) by Douglas Hofmann printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. AFTERNOON REHEARSAL depicts an intimate interior scene staged with two ballet dancers at ease dressed in their delicate tutu tulle skirts. AFTERNOON REHEARSAL is a highly detailed ballet portrait printed in a neutral color palette comprised of warm browns, light lavender, light golden cream, peach beige, grays, and touches of brownish black. Hofmann creates a beautiful aura of light and atmosphere influenced by great Baroque paintings. Here he gives careful attention to fine detail, the sheer tulle of the ballet dancers skirts, light filtering through the window with superbly shaded beige and lavender colors, mirrored wall reflecting their graceful poses. In his well loved ballet paintings he has tried to achieve the look of Degas, a favorite master of his. Print size - 27 x 36.5 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Doug Hofmann Edition size - 100, plus proofs Year published - 1995 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co., NJ Artist statement - “You can see the manipulation of the paint and the brush strokes. I don't want to paint everyday scenes. I'm a dreamer. I want to express a romantic feeling in my work. This appeals to me as a form of self-expression in today's world of structured reality”.
