Moore, Marianne. Malvina Hoffman. In : Texas quarterly ; no 7 (Spring 1964).
Sculpture Inside and Out is a contribution to knowledge and to living – a conspectus of tasks not slighted – maser work – primitive and later, which one hopes not to mislay. Shown in it are the animal monuments ornamenting the road to the Ming Tobs ; the Chariot of the Moon (Ankor Vat)…
Miss Hoffman's friends are a book in themselves ; her furniture also (refectory, French, and early American). Besides white and gold Napoleon 'N' china, she has a pheasant-and-butterfly dinner set of the variety with design on strange semi-dark Lowestoft Chinese apple green. Her gilded ivory painted French sofa is covered with old Persian brocade, woven in a bird-and-flower-cluster design on green. Among her costume rarities, a square black corded cap from Tibet of 'permanent' satin should be studies – in the hand ; and her Tibetan wildcat fur coverlet – deep reddish fur, light as thistledown on a turquoise satin back.
