DESCRIPTION:
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.

"Simply Great!" according to FCD117. I love this book. Mr. Hopper may be my favorite artist. His work is very beautiful yet somewhat stark. I cannot explain some of my feelings about art. Mr. Hopper's work has been artistically connected to film noir. I sense that, but cannot further articulate that. Film noir is my favorite type of film style.The book itself is extremely informative. It is physically large. In terms of length and width it is the size of a "table top" type book. However it is not what I consider to be as a table top type book. There is plenty of room for both narrative and art i. This is the one for Hopper fans The best of an indispensable artist. Handsomely packaged, gorgeous reproductions, fascinating bioOn my coffee table and all my friends and family oooh and aaah.. pierre desrochers said I saw the Hopper exhibition in Paris and the book is a dear reminder. The book is well written and well illustrated; full of competent comprehension about Hopper and his artistic project; it will please anyone who did not have the chance to see the exhibition.
