Edward Hopper Biography

American painter, engraver & illustrator
born 1882 - died 1967

Student of: William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), Robert Henri (1865-1929), Kenneth Hayes Miller (1876-1952)

Biography: Edward Hopper trained under Robert Henri, 1900-06, and between 1906 and 1910 made three trips to Europe, though these had little influence on his style. Hopper exhibited at the Armoury Show in 1913, but from then until 1923 he abandoned painting, earning his living by commercial illustration. Thereafter, however, Edward Hopper gained widespread recognition as a central exponent of American Scene painting, expressing the loneliness, vacuity, and stagnation of town life. Yet Hopper remained always an individualist: `I don't think I ever tried to paint the American scene; I'm trying to paint myself.'

Edward Hopper Paintings such as Nighthawks (Art Institute of Chicago, 1942) convey a mood of loneliness and desolation by their emptiness or by the presence of anonymous, non-communicating figures. But of this oil painting Edward Hopper said: `I didn't see it as particularly lonely. Unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.' Deliberately so or not, in his still, reserved, and blandly handled paintings He often exerts a powerful psychological impact -- distantly akin to that made by the Metaphysical painter de Chirico; but while de Chirico's effect was obtained by making the unreal seem real, this was rooted in the presentation of the familiar and concrete.

American scene painting
Edward Hopper painted American landscapes paintings and cityscapes painting with a disturbing truth, expressing the world around him as a chilling, alienating, and often vacuous place. Everybody in a Hopper paintings appears terribly alone. He soon gained a widespread reputation as the artist who gave visual form to the loneliness and boredom of life in the big city. This was something new in art, perhaps an expression of the sense of human hopelessness that characterized the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Edward Hopper has something of the lonely gravity peculiar to Thomas Eakins, a courageous fidelity to life as he feels it to be. Edward Hopper also shares Winslow Homer power to recall the feel of things. For Hopper, this feel is insistently low-key and ruminative. Edward Hopper shows the modern world unflinchingly; even its gaieties are gently mournful, echoing the disillusionment that swept across the country after the start of the Great Depression in 1929.

Cape Cod Evening (1939; 77 x 102 cm (30 1/4 x 40 in)) should be idyllic, and in a way it is. The couple enjoy the evening sunshine outside their home, yet they are a couple only technically and the enjoyment is wholly passive as both are isolated and introspective in their reveries. Their house is closed to intimacy, the door firmly shut and the windows covered. The dog is the only alert creature, but even it turns away from the house. The thick, sinister trees tap on the window panes, but there will be no answer. Here is Edward Hopper Biography, art reproductions of Nighthawks, Gas, House by the Railroad.
