Product Description
Product Description
Hopper is generally considered the major twentieth-century realist. Such paintings as House by the Railroad, Early Sunday Morning, and Nighthawks seem to embody the very character of our time. Yet few people have penetrated the mask of Hopper's public image. Here, Gail Levin has gone beyond the standard evaluations of the man and his work to investigate the authentic identity of the artist and the way his personality informed his art. She has uncovered aspects of Hopper's life (and even unknown works) that provide the first comprehensive view of the artists early development. The fascinating and often poignant story of Hopper's long struggle for recognition gives new insight into his later pessimism. A complex man is revealed, introspective and intellectual, yet romantic, illuminating the many levels of meaning in the paintings of his maturity.In addition to Hopper's watercolors and oil paintings, there are study drawings for his major works and documentary photographs illuminating all phases of his life.

Collection of the Best Edward Hopper Paintings
14 Sep 2007
Note: There are a couple Mormons who are angry over my negative reviews of books written in defense of the Book of Mormon, and they have been slamming my reviews.
Your "helpful" votes are appreciated. Thanks. PS: I'm not an art critic, but I know what I like. I think you'll enjoy the painting listed below.
I've looked through this book a hundred times (literally), and each time I find details in Hopper's paintings that add to my enjoyment. Some paintings that I love are the "Stairway" (mysterious), the "Two Puritans" (houses), "Gas" (very haunting), and "Solitude" (a lone house along a road).
Oh, and "Cape Cod Evening" (two people by the front door of a house while a collie looks at something). Very mysterious.
Highly recommended.

Obszerna publikacja

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Album bardzo bogaty w ilustracje, niestety czesto jest ich kilka na stronie. Jest w nim duzo reprodukcji rysunkow, szkicow, akwareli czego brakuje w innych wydawnictwach o Hopperze. Kupilem ten album w miekkiej okladce i to byl blad. Zdecydowanie wygodniejsza bylaby twarda okladka. Ksiazka typowo dla fanow tworczosci Hoppera.
