A Place in Provincetown

Interesting to think that Hans Hofman once walked this hallway, where he once lived.

“Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.”

“Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”

 ~Hans Hofmann
What are you doing today to gloriy the human spirit?
How are you translating you inner world?
What are you simplifying to let your art speak?
I would love to hear from you!
