Description

Edward Hopper's art is a testament to his unique vision and skill. At 40, he was struggling to make ends meet as an artist, but by the time Time magazine featured him on its cover at 80, he had become one of America's most celebrated artists. Hopper's paintings are instantly recognizable for their vivid color juxtapositions, stark lighting, and hauntingly contoured figures. His depictions of modern city life - from diners to hotel rooms - are marked by a sense of eerie disquiet, alienation, loneliness, and psychological tension. Yet, his rural or coastal scenes offer a contrasting note of tranquility and optimism. This book brings together major works from Hopper's oeuvre, providing a key entry point into the artist's remarkable body of work and its enduring significance in American art history.
