A - Z REIHE BD 12 EDWARD HOPPER GEBUNDEN

That incomparable melancholy in Edward Hopper's pictures occasionally leads us to look at the
details of his life. Where exactly did this master of loneliness live and work? What were his
most important influences while he was working on his great paintings of America? In this
wonderful  simply structured  A-to-Z book  Ulf Küster pursues these themes  which say a great
deal about the painter and his interests  and yet he never loses sight of the artist and the
necessary distance to his inimitable pictures. Thus  Küster strolls through the ABCs of
Hopper's life and work  from the "American landscape " "Buick" "Goethe " and "shadow and
sunlight" to the key word  "zero." On the way he opens up many new doors or insights  enriching
the views of Hopper's paintings and making it possible to interpret them in new ways. An
entertaining and informative book. EDWARD HOPPER (1882-1967) is the master of American Realism.
His paintings captured life during his era. His method of painting rapidly became the stylistic
foundation of a type of American modernism. A source of inspiration for countless painters 
photographers  and filmmakers  his body of work continues to be influential to this very day.
