Art: Hans Hofmann

A quote from Clement Greenberg's essay on Hans Hofmann:

Yet the very fact that Cathedral teeters on the edge of a kind of art like Mondrian's is one of the things that give it its climactic quality as a work that sums up the realizations of a whole epoch of modernist art, and at the same time points toward the next one-in which geometrical and painterly drawing will become indistinguishable because they will have cancelled each other out under the pressures of color.
