Astral Nebula by Hans Hofmann

Rectangles of ochre and slate drift like celestial dust. Hans Hofmann’s *Astral Nebula* begins here, a quiet storm of pigment on paper. Brushstrokes collide without blending—cobalt squares hover above charcoal slabs, while a single streak of cadmium red cuts diagonally, as if gravity has no claim. The edges are sharp, yet the whole feels weightless, a galaxy pinned to the wall. Hang it where morning light lingers; the red will glow like a distant star through sheer curtains.
