scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: The series consists of interviews, correspondence, video production and research material related to projects sponsored by the Renate, Hans, and Maria Hofmann Trust to document Hofmann's career and influence. 

Research material compiled by Tina Dickey includes 30 interviews conducted by Dickey with former students of Hofmann, a recording of a panel discussion on Hofmann held in Provincetown, Mass. in 2000, information on students registered at Hofmann's schools between 1918 and 1958, and a sketch of the New York school's classroom by Paul Resika. Sound recordings of ten of the interviews and the one panel discussion are also present. 

Correspondence, Production Material, and Research Material document the production of two video documentaries created by Madeline Amgott, Hans Hofmann: Reflections by Former Students (1999) and Hans Hofmann: Artist-Teacher, Teacher-Artist (2002). Correspondence relates to the funding, research, and distribution of the film. Production materials include video recordings, sound recordings, transcripts, notes, documentary scripts, various video and sound edits, and other production elements from Madeline Amgott's production of the two documentaries. Some material is in digital format. Research material consists of primary source and supplementary research materials gathered by Amgott, including supplementary interview transcripts, photocopies of archival correspondence, printed material from Hans Hofmann's papers, and original exhibition catalogs and newspaper clippings of Hofmann and his former students. Also found are historical sound recordings and moving images of Hans, Maria, and Renate Hofmann gathered from a variety of sources. Note that Tina Dickey worked with Amgott on research for both productions, and there is significant crossover in subject matter between Dickey's research and Amgott's production records.
