Art and science create a balance to material life and enlarge the world of living experience. Art leads to a more profound concept of life, because art itself is a profound expression of feeling.

Painters must speak through paint, not through words.

People say 'Hofmann has different styles'. I have not. I have different moods; I am not two days the same man.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.

You must break all the rules of painting, but you must also convince me you've had a reason to do so.

Every art expression is rooted fundamentally in the personality and temperament of the artist.

The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.
