Beskrivning
In this major catalogue, Hopper’s relationship with film and theatre is explored, along with his fascination with architecture, advertising, travel and popular culture. The receptions his paintings have received from artists, critics and a wider public are examined, and the sense of melancholy that characterises much of his work is placed in a historical tradition reaching back to Dürer. Fully illustrated in colour, with oils, etchings, drawings and watercolours from throughout his career, and with essays by leading authorities on American art, this is a comprehensive and engaging survey of one of the iconic artists of the twentieth century.
