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.

補個評價。
評分這些畫反映瞭現代都市人們遠離自然的現實,以及人與人之間互相隔絕缺乏交流的狀態。幾十年前的紐約是如此,今天的北京上海也不例外。
評分本想著一天隻看一兩頁,沒料著一時興起用一下午給全翻完瞭。裝幀、紙質、內頁設計都不錯,蠻良心的藝術科普讀物。總結下來最喜歡的一幅Hopper應該還是Two Comedians,把謝幕畫進謝幕裏,好溫柔。
