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.

作者的角度過於主觀，同一幅作品，博物館的注釋講解給瞭更多背景信息，衍生與判斷依事實而進，但是這本書都是作者自己的理解，像是讀一篇超長的論文，卻論據不足。雖然不能說作者的觀點沒有道理，但是讀完總覺得對Hopper的理解依然虛無縹緲。
