Edward Hopper (1882-1967) verkörpert eine amerikanische Erfolgsgeschichte – doch dieser Erfolg ließ lange auf sich warten. Mit 40 verkaufte er kaum ein Bild, mit fast 80 schaffte er es auf das Cover von Time. Heute, ein halbes Jahrhundert nach seinem Tod, gilt Hopper mit seinem unheimlichen und einzigartigen Sinn für Stimmungen und Orte als Gigant des amerikanischen Realismus.
Hopper fängt in seinen Bildern das Leben in der modernen Großstadt ein: Diner, Cafés, Schaufenster, Straßenbeleuchtung, Tankstellen, Bahnhöfe, Hotelzimmer. Die Szenen sind geprägt von leuchtenden Farben, Kontrasten und dem Spiel von Licht und Schatten sowie hart konturierten Figuren, die Teil ihrer Umgebung sind, und doch zugleich wie Fremdkörper darin wirken. Es herrscht eine unheimliche Atmosphäre, geprägt von Einsamkeit und Anspannung. Als Kontrast dazu strahlen Hoppers in ländliche Umgebung gesetzte Bilder Ruhe und Optimismus aus.
Dieser Band präsentiert Hoppers wichtigste Werke und stellt einen Maler vor, der die Psyche Amerikas zu Kunstgeschichte machte.

Hardback. Zustand: New. 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, 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 major works from Hopper's ouvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9783836500326
