| EDWARD HOPPER (1882-1967) Hopper spent almost his entire career in New York, but he travelled his native country extensively, making long journeys by car. Until 1923, Hopper was employed as a commercial illustrator, but turned to painting full-time and enjoyed a rapid rise to recognition as the outstanding exponent of American Scene Painting. His lonely figures sit in spare interior or exterior spaces, timeless and serene in their own worlds. Hopper himself disliked talking about his work and lived quietly with his artist wife. A favourite subject was the female nude in a city interior. |
