Thomas Hoffmaster (1923-1969)
Maryland, Baltimore
Thomas Hoffmaster startedtaking classes at the Maryland Institute when he was just 13. He earned adegree in biology from Johns Hopkins University and continued on to a career asa medical artist and photographer.
Eutaw Elementary School located in Baltimorewas designed by local firm of Marshall and Lewis which opened in 1967. The newschool building featured a wall-mounted bronze sculpture by local artist ThomasHoffmaster. His work at Eutaw Elementary School met with some criticism,however, as constant critic of the school art program Phoebe Stanton laterremarked the \"rather expensive\" work resembled \"nothing so muchas magnified cheap jewelry\". While it remains easy for someone notacquainted with Hoffmaster’s biography or practice to view the sculpture as anabstract flotsam that is very “dated” or “of it’s time”, to think about how theartists experience in medical illustration and biology may have informed thework would bring new context to the imagination of a child viewing the work andlearning about the artist.
