Hopper

Copertina rigida8.3 x 10.2 in.1.37 lb96 pagine20
Disponibilità: Disponibile

Artista 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.

Lonely Arts

A distinct eye for alienation

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 œuvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche.

I like the fact this book is just the right size, not too big/thick, and gives a very good overview of Hopper's work.

Lost in Hopper's Paints

Hopper doesn't need a review. Just look at his paints and get lost in his loneliness.

Nice read

I ordered the book on Hopper to help with college. In a creative field, inspiration is all around you and I found it in Hopper's work. This TASCHEN book displays the incredible artwork in high quality with lovely descriptions to further educate me on the genius of Hopper.

Intéressant

Bon livre mais ayant a mon goût une approche trop psychologique de l’œuvre d’Hopper sans mettre les œuvres en corrélations avec sa vie privée (qui a fortement influencé)
