Hofflander studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and at the Art Students League in New York He has lived in the West Indies, where his admiration for primitive painting and his love of American primitives combined to develop his unique style. Jack Hofflander's paintings celebrate the charm of the Haitian and New England countryside. A sophisticated primitive landscape painter, Hofflander romanticizes small worlds of fact and fantasy and creates immaculately painted towns and villages that come alive in an environment of eternal spring. There is an obvious relationship between Hofflander and the art of Middle Eastern Persian miniature painters. The attention 10 detail and a regard for all things small and precious are obvious comparisons. However, Hofflander does not limit himself to miniatures for his reputation as a muralist precedes him. Over the years, his most avid clients have been people from the film industry and theatre. Their enthusiasm for fantasy, both romantic and mystical, is the only criterion needed to appreciate the lyrical paintings of Hofflander.
