Hopper – Basic Art Series

179,00 kr.

Struggling artist turned icon of the modern, urban experience, Edward Hopper is most famed for his haunting nocturnal diner scene Nighthawks, This book introduces his mastery of place, mood, and melancholy through vivid color juxtapositions; stark, theatrical lighting; as well as harshly contoured figures, at once part of, and alien to, their surroundings,
Edward Hopper (1882–1967) is something of an American success story, if only his success had come swifter, At the age of 40, he was a failing artist who struggled to sell a single painting, As he approached 80, Time magazine featured him on its cover, Today, half a century after his death, Hopper is considered a giant of modern expression, with an uncanny, unforgettable, and utterly distinct sense for mood and place,
Much of Hopper’s work excavates modern city experience, In canvas after canvas, he depicts diners, cafes, shopfronts, street lights, gas stations, rail stations, and hotel rooms, The scenes are marked by vivid color juxtapositions and stark, theatrical lighting, as well as by harshly contoured figures, who appear at once part of, and alien to, their surroundings, The ambiance throughout his repertoire is of aneerie disquiet, alienation, loneliness and psychological tension, although his rural or coastal scenes can offer a counterpoint of tranquility or optimism,
This book presents key works from Hopper’s œuvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche,
