About this artwork

This sketchbook dates from Hoff’s studies at Ox-Bow, where her husband, George Buehr, also taught. Hoff’s graphite and pen sketches demonstrate her use of a sinuous line to delineate forms, and these drawings provide lively impressions of the Ox-Bow grounds, facilities, and activities.
