Painting, Color, Design
 Charles Hinman's philosophy of teaching is to guide students toward finding their own identities as artists. He believes that this requires strengthening their innate abilities and talents while they form their distinctive visions and aesthetic positions. He encourages them to direct their work to the highest possible level of achievement. In order to effect this, he endeavors to discover their backgrounds and experiences in art and works to help them to become the artists they want to be.
Mr. Hinman explores the three-dimensional canvas. He enjoys the visual dialogue
between the actual space of the sculptured object and the illusory space of the painting.
There is a play of opposites in the work: hard and soft, opaque and translucent, plane and
volume, light and shadow, and color contrasts. These works, without reference to objects
of everyday life, have freedom of association, imagery and scale.
Mr. Hinman first appeared in a group show at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1964,
followed by one-person shows at Richard Feigen, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles;
Denise Ren", New York and Paris; Hans Mayer, Krefeld, Germany; Tokyo Gallery,
Japan; Douglas Drake, New York and many others.
His work is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the
Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Los Angeles County
Museum, the Louisiana Museum in Denmark and the Nagaoka Museum, Japan. The artist
studied fine arts at Syracuse University and at the Art Students League. He taught at
Princeton, Cornell, Pratt Institute, the School of Visual Arts, Cooper Union, and was
Lamar Dodd Distinguished Professor of Art at the University of Georgia.
Awards include an NEA fellowship and grants from the Pollock-Krasner and the
Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundations.
