[edit] Hofmann's nationality

I changed "German" to "German-born American" because that's what authoritative sources say. For example, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art calls Hans Hofmann "American, born Germany" [1]. MdArtLover 16:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Teaching and writing" mistake

Mercedes Matter did not study with Hans Hofmann in Munich. She studied with him in New York between 1932 and 1935. (http://www.pbs.org/hanshofmann/mercedes_matter_001.html) I've never edited an article on Wikipedia and have not read the editing guidelines, so I wanted to post this here first before making a change.

Took Mercedes Matter's name out of the list of those who studied with Hofmann in Munich. My first Wikipedia edit. NSpector (talk) 22:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
