Description

Edward Hopper: Portraits of America is a penetrating exploration of the American realist painter's work, capturing the many moods of the nation he called home. Through his images of deserted small towns, solitary figures in empty offices, and tranquil landscapes, Hopper's talent for depicting human nature is revealed.

Hopper's most famous compositions are products of a life spent observing human nature, evoking an enigmatic uncertainty that speaks to the heart of the American experience. This generously illustrated and engaging volume focuses on Hopper's talent for depicting the post-war experience, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in American art and culture.
