Edward Hopper, een vooraanstaand Amerikaans realistisch schilder en graficus, is het meest gevierd om zijn olieverfschilderijen, hoewel hij ook bedreven was in aquarel en etsen. Zijn stedelijke en landelijke scènes boden een persoonlijke visie op het moderne Amerikaanse leven, gekenmerkt door sobere en fijnzinnig berekende weergaven. Hopper's unieke stijl vangt een gevoel van stille introspectie en de vaak eenzame ervaring van het hedendaagse bestaan.






Illustrated by over 50 of Edward Hopper's most powerful evocations of New York, Avis Berman's essay explores how Hopper and his work illuminate each other by analyzing what his New York is - and is not. Ever the contrarian, he offers an alternative to what other American artists seized on - the new, the gigantic, the technologically exciting. Hopper stayed away from tourist attractions or landmarks of the city's glamorous skyline. His preference for nondescript vernacular buildings is emblematic of the larger Hopper paradox: he makes emptiness full, silence articulate, banality intense, plainness mysterious, and tawdriness noble.
"This volume presents a definitive Hopper monograph. Published for a massive retrospective at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and the Grand Palais in Paris, it approaches Hopper's relatively small oeuvre in two sections. The first covers the artist's formative years from approximately 1900 to 1924, examining a selection of sketches, paintings, drawings, illustrations, prints and watercolors, which are considered alongside works by painters that influenced Hopper, such as Winslow Homer, Robert Henri, John Sloan, Edgar Degas and Walter Sickert. The second section considers the years from 1925 onwards, addressing his mature output through chronological but thematic groupings."--Jacket flap.
