Wohlert 1974. Monogrammed (in ligation) and dated lower right. 30,8 : 52,4 cm (12,1 : 20,6 in). In reducing form to a universally valid statement, Hofer started on his way to a degree of abstraction that he would, however, never consistently achieve. Hofer’s celebrated disagreement with the apologists for abstract painting is the stuff of legend. The artist remained true to himself and the style he had chosen. The greatly reduced forms in our fruit still life are enlivened by colour contrasts, which lend the unobtrusive composition a distinctive air. The complementary colours red and green are confronted with blue and yellow - yet nonetheless tied as it is into a background that is in a neutral colour, the statement made is modified. [KD]
