In 1513 Leonardo asked a question, 464 years later, the answer is given.

Back then and under modernism painting was a journey, a progression through form to an essence, a place where the sheer presence of painted form delivers a feast for the eyes. In many instances this feast became reflective. A sense of the classical can now be seen in Hoffman's work - a classicism that bares evidence that the cannons of modernism are at play.

The visuality of a work such as Yellow Hymn, once no doubt bracketed within the shock of the new, now appears classical. Readily identifiable and in many parts imitable. These are indicators that a classical style is present. A view of classicism can illuminate Hoffman's career in interesting ways. The Latin root of classic as given in Annandale's Home Study Dictionary is classicus: "An author of the first rank pertaining to the first or highest of the classes of political divisions into which the Roman people were anciently divided, hence the use of the word in reference to writers." Classic is further defined as "a writer whose style is pure, correct, and refined."
