Hopper
Copertina rigida, 8.3 x 10.2 in., 1.37 lb, 96 pagine20Disponibilità: DisponibileArtista in difficoltà, divenuto icona dell'esperienza urbana moderna, Edward Hopper è famoso soprattutto per l'inquietante scena del ristorante notturno I Nottambuli.
Questo libro presenta la sua maestria nell'interpretazione del luogo, dell'umore e della malinconia attraverso vivaci accostamenti di colore, un'illuminazione spoglia e teatrale e figure dai contorni duri, allo stesso tempo parte ed estranee all'ambiente circostante.

A distinct eye for alienation
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 major works from Hopper's œuvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche.
