Art cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects.

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

What goes on in abstract art is the proclaiming of aesthetic principles... It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations. Art never can be imitation.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

It makes no difference whether a work is naturalistic or abstract; every visual expression follows the same fundamental laws

To worship the product and ignore its development leads to dilettantism and reaction.

Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.
