German American Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann credited his time teaching painting at UC Berkeley in the early 1930s for his "start in America as a teacher and artist." Hofmann thanked the university with a gift of nearly 50 paintings representing the breadth of his life work, from Surrealist-influenced compositions to more physical and abstract images. [...] Hofmann became an influential mentor and educator to hundreds of art students at Berkeley and universities across the globe. Three years later, Hofmann donated nearly 50 paintings and pledged $250,000 in support of the University Art Museum (now the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive). The Berkeley exhibit, "Hofmann by Hofmann," which opened in July, includes "Fantasia" (1943) and later works "Nocturnal Splendor" and "Gloriamundi" (1963), both characterized by contrasting colors and shapes that give the images a three-dimensional feel.
