Two of his professors, Arthur Degener and Eduard Bischoff became his loyal, lifelong friends. Although his first art exhibition at Riesemann and Linthaler was criticized in the press, his paintings did receive some positive interest and was compared to the work of Maurice de Vlaminck. He continued to exhibit and his works were shown in Krolewiec, Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover and he also exhibited at the Louvre during a trip to France. In 1980 a large exhibit of Hoffmans work was shown near Munich and was a huge success. His paintings are in private collections, public buildings, banks, post offices and libraries throughout Europe.
