Edward Hopper (1882–1967) is something of an American success story, if only his success had come swifter. At the age of 40, he was a failing artist who struggled to sell a single painting. As he approached 80, Time magazine featured him on its cover. Today, half a century after his death, Hopper is considered a giant of modern expression, with an uncanny, unforgettable, and utterly distinct sense for mood and place.
Much of Hopper's work excavates modern city experience. In canvas after canvas, he depicts diners, cafes, shopfronts, street lights, gas stations, rail stations, and hotel rooms. The scenes are marked by vivid color juxtapositions and stark, theatrical lighting, as well as by harshly contoured figures, who appear at once part of, and alien to, their surroundings. The ambiance throughout his repertoire is of an eerie disquiet, alienation, loneliness and psychological tension, although his rural or coastal scenes can offer a counterpoint of tranquility or optimism.
This book presents key works from Hopper's ?uvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche.

评分當畫冊看。霍珀的畫如同一個在遷流中作驚鴻一瞥的世界，靜靜的。它有它自己的生命。它不關心我在某一刻的偶然經行，也從不迴應我的凝視。看著一幅幅寜靜的畫作，你擁有的，隻有相伴而來的失落，以及刹那的缺席感，在氤氳，暗湧
