Description
Thismonograph illuminates the life and workof one of America's most celebrated yet enigmatic artists. Through aclose study of the themes, emotions and imagery that preoccupied Hopper (1882- 1967)throughout his life, Walter Wells presents many new insights, especially into the haunting silence and loneliness at the heart of the artist's vision. In particular,Silent Theaterexplores the psychological tensions underlying the world of Hopper and his wife, Josephine Nivison. Using literature and other sources, the author reveals how Hopper created complex pictorial dramas about the human condition. The book's expansive design allows the superb reproductions of Hopper's paintings, watercolours and etchings--including his most memorable images thathave indeed become American icons-- to register with an impact that matches the eloquence of its text.
