Edward Hopper (#152)
Edward Hopper, one of America's most-admired artists, captured the shared realities of American life with poignancy and enigmatic beauty. His iconic images, set in unexceptional places, reveal the poetry of quiet, private moments. Hopper's influences, which vary from French impressionism to the gangster films of the 1930s, are explored through archival photos and footage of locations he painted in New York and along the New England coast.
