Hofer stood against Nazism, and even published articles, such as \u0026quot;Wie k\u0026auml;mpfen wir gegen ein Drittes Reich?\u0026quot; (\u0026quot;How do we fight against a Third Reich?\u0026quot;), published in the communist newspaper Welt am Abend. Despite rejecting Nazism, Hofer looked to find ways for art to find acceptance by the regime. He, for example, also wrote the article \u0026quot;Der Kampf um die Kunst\u0026quot; (\u0026quot;The Struggle for Art\u0026quot;) in a series of articles on German art in the \u003cem\u003eDeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung\u003c/em\u003e, arguing that German art was largely \u0026quot;free of Jews\u0026quot;, like no other area of society other than the military.

Zijn positie als kunstenaar was bijzonder: hij was overtuigd dat er geen zinvol onderscheid gemaakt kan worden tussen abstracte en figuratieve schilderkunst, en dat de twee volledig compatibel zijn met elkaar.
