Most important were Cubists Pablo Picasso, Georges Braques, and Fauvists Henri Matisse and Robert Delaunay. Hofmann fused the Cubists\u2019 interpretation of form with the Fauvists\u2019 philosophy of color to create his own ideas of depth and movement. Hofmann began teaching in America in the 1930\u2019s and became an influential educator. He helped establish the Abstract Expressionist movement in the 1940s, bringing America to the forefront of the art world. <em>Blue Spell <\/em>embodies his later style, maintaining the integrity of the flat plane of the canvas while manipulating texture and the \u201cpush and pull\u201d of color to articulate depth, movement and feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"885\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1979.P.7.7-1-885x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1979.P.7.7-1-885x1024.jpg 885w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1979.P.7.7-1-259x300.jpg 259w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1979.P.7.7-1-768x889.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1979.P.7.7-1.jpg 1302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><figcaption>Hans Hofmann (American, b.
