Carl Hofer (1878 1955) was one of the most prominent German Expressionists. Hofer\’s works in the 1920s concentrate on unpretentious figure groups: couples, girls with their arms around one another, young men playing cards. These works use an indeterminate space . . . to portray people in relaxed contact with one another, suggesting human solidarity. Angela Schneider
