Egon Hofmann was a significant Austrian painter and graphic artist of Classical Modernism. Characteristic of his work are clear, geometric forms, a reduced formal language, and a rigorous composition. He frequently devoted himself to mountain and landscape motifs, which also played an important role in his woodcuts and drypoint engravings. Alongside his printmaking, he created numerous watercolours as well as colourful landscapes, still lifes, and depictions of his travels.
