Between New Objectivity and Magic Realism, he developed an unmistakable visual language. The exhibition features over 60 paintings that present the most important themes, aesthetic power, and underlying view of humanity in Hofer's painting, using examples from all phases of his career. The exhibition on the third floor of Achberg Castle is complemented by paintings by artists of the Halle School, which echo Hofer's painting, as well as paintings by Willi Baumeister. They highlight the reception of Hofer's work between 1945 and 1955 in East and West Germany. *The exhibition is a collaboration between the Arthouse Collection, the Moritzburg Halle (Saale) Art Museum, Achberg Castle, the Bietigheim-Bissingen Municipal Gallery, and the Rostock Art Gallery.*
