SILENT THEATER

Sinopsis del producto

Edward Hopper is the greatest painter of American experiencein the twentieth century. Charged with an aura of loneliness, solitude and silence, Hopper´s enigmatic images speak to the modern world´s deep concern with the human condition. In compositions that encompass the city and nature (ranging from theater interiors, hotels, restaurants,street scenes, railways and gas stations to landscapes and the sea) Hopper created a movirig visual poetry. Indeed, Hopper´s most celebrated paintings, such as Railroad Sunset,Early Sunday Morning and Nighthawks, have become world-famous icons of America´s alternating sense of alienation and self-identity. This thought-provoking monograph examines Hopper´s art from diverse literary, psychological and cultural perspectives, yielding numerous fresh insights into his output. Detailed discussion of a wide array of Hopper´s canvases, watercolors, etchings and meticulous sketches explores how the artist´s troubled marriage, emotions and obsessive themes influenced his vision. Beautifully written and richly illustrated, this accessible study will appeal at once to both informed readers and the newcomer to Hopper´s art.
