The complete edition size: 364 Douglas Hofmann’s love for the ballet evolved from his fascination with the movement and curves that a human body can form. Red Sash, with its softly lighted forms, keen details and glowing surfaces, demonstrates Hofmann's passion and strong technique. This sophisticated piece is a celebration of the dance and the beauty of the human body. Douglas Hofmann crafts a remarkable and sumptuous image of a woman peacefully dreaming. Her shimmering porcelain skin reflects the light as if the print would be warm to the touch. Hofmann expertly combines his own methods of painting with Old Master techniques, creating a beautiful aura of light and atmosphere that is more often found in great Baroque paintings. It is because of his strong artistic ability that texture of the sheet looks at once lush and sheer as it delicately covers the slumbering female. "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." -Douglas Hofmann About Douglas Hofmann: Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1945 Douglas Hofmann attended high school in his hometown. He enrolled at the prestigious Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Studying at MICA was a perfect opportunity to learn about drawing, modeling and Maroger technique. Hofmann had discovered the Maroger method, a method enabling the artist to use thin layers of paint and techniques similar to those of the Old Masters. With this interest in the Old Masters Hofmann began to develop his individual taste. After graduating from MICA Hofmann met Jack Solomon, owner of Jack Gallery on Prince Street (SoHo). Solomon offered Doug an exclusive contract. His first show was extremely successful selling everything opening night. This was his initiation into the enviable art scene in SoHo, New York. Vermeer's interiors with figures became one of his favorite themes. Emulating Vermeer, he painted situations from his home and studio using his wife and children as his models. Hofmann later expanded his subject matter to include his memorable nudes and his much loved ballet works. "I borrow from everything I like, for example, the works of Vermeer, Rubens, Degas and Mucha. I'm using a Dutch technique but with an Art Nouveau model, Victorian too. And I love the female figure, I think it's the most beautiful thing there is." His subjects have changed over the years, but women have continued to dominate his panels and prints. Hofmann's works have been exhibited in numerous group and one-man shows at prestigious galleries and museums, in every major city in U.S.A. and Asia. Douglas Hofmann is currently represented by the Martin Lawrence Galleries and his artwork is on display at all 10 locations throughout the USA.
