More From Hans Hofmann

I don't think you have to earn your income as an artist to be an artist. but if you are an artist, then art is what you do, whether or not you're paid for doing it; it is what you do, not what you are. i regard artist not as a description of temperament but as a category of profession, of vocation.
Art Thinking Income
All art is propaganda. ... the only difference is the kind of propaganda. since art is essential for human life, it can't just belong to the few. art is the universal language, and it belongs to all mankind. all painters have been propagandists or else they have not been painters. ... every artist who has been worth anything in art has been such a propagandist. ... every strong artist has been a propagandist. i want to be a propagandist and i want to be nothing else. ... i want to use my art as a weapon.
Strong Art Differences
I know now that he who hopes to be universal in his art must plant in his own soil. great art is like a tree, which grows in a particular place and has a trunk, leaves, blossoms, boughs, fruit, and roots of its own. the more native art is, the more it belongs to the entire world, because taste is rooted in nature. when art is true, it is one with nature. this is the secret of primitive art and also of the art of the mastersmichelangelo, czanne, seurat, and renoir. the secret of my best work is that it is mexican.
Art Roots Mexican
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.
