Book agi-store | HOPPER BY TASCHEN

Edward Hopper (1882-1967) embodies an American success story - but this success was a long time coming. At 40 he barely sold a picture, at almost 80 he made it onto the cover of Time. Today, half a century after his death, Hopper is considered a giant of American realism with his uncanny and unique sense of mood and place.

Edward Hopper, whose best-known work Night owls shows a subliminally oppressive nighttime diner scene, developed from a starving artist to an iconic chronicler of modern city life. This book introduces you to his masterful, melancholic depictions of atmospheric places.
