Edward Hopper 2025 Wall Calendar
Edward Hopper built his paintings around light. Filled with quiet and solitude, his paintings are often warmed by the sun: “I like long shadows and early and late sunlight. I am . . . trying to paint sunlight without eliminating the form under it, if I can.” In this collection, the light that so fascinated the artist bathes New England land and sea as it enters indoor spaces with geometric intensity. Hopper spent nearly every summer of his prolific career in New England. However, he was born and raised in Nyack, New York, studied painting at the New York School of Art, and wintered in Greenwich Village. The outcome of this dual residency is a body of work rich in rural landscapes and seascapes, as well as studies of city life. Twelve of Hopper’s superb paintings, featuring both rural and urban scenes, are presented in this calendar.

Edward Hopper
by Edward Hopper, David Anfam, Carol Troyen, Judith Barter, Elliot Davis, Sheena Wagstaff, Brian O'Doherty
One of the most enduringly popular painters of the twentieth century, Edward Hopper produced many works now considered icons of Modern art. Canvases such as Drugstore, New York Movie, and the universally recognized (and often parodied) Nighthawks not only reshaped what painting looked like in America, but created a visual language for middle-class life and its discontents. This extensive new assessment of Hopper, which accompanies a major traveling exhibition, examines the dynamics of the artist's creative process and discusses his work within the cultural currents of his day--examining the influence not only of other painters, but also of such media as literature and film. And while most studies have tended to see Hopper as the great painter of alienation, this one takes a much broader, more nuanced, and ultimately more representative view. Spanning the entirety of Hopper's career, but with particular emphasis on his heyday in the 30s and 40s, Edward Hopper highli

Edward Hopper
by Edward Hopper, David Anfam, Carol Troyen, Judith Barter, Elliot Davis, Sheena Wagstaff, Brian O'Doherty
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) made the visual iconography of the American city his own. All-night diners, filling stations, motel rooms and office interiors take on the foreboding atmosphere of abandoned stage sets, onto which his isolated human protagonists seem to have wandered.
Fully illustrated in colour, with oils, etchings, drawings and watercolours from throughout his career, and with essays by leading authorities on American art, this is a comprehensive survey of one of the iconic artists of the twentieth century.

Edward Hopper
by Edward Hopper, David Anfam, Carol Troyen, Judith Barter, Elliot Davis, Sheena Wagstaff, Brian O'Doherty
Edward Hopper is as quintessentially American as Jackson Pollock or Andy Warhol. Like them, his imagery has reached far beyond the realm of art to impact on our culture in the broadest terms, so that we see early twentieth-century America through his work, as much as within it. The painter Charles Burchfield attributed Hopper’s success to his “bold individualism,” declaring that “in him we have regained that sturdy American independence which Thomas Eakins gave us.” Hopper’s art was profoundly of its time, both in its expression of the subtle melancholies of modern life and in its deeply cinematic qualities--perhaps Hopper’s greatest gift was his treatment of light--to which directors from Alfred Hitchcock to Wim Wenders have paid homage.
This volume presents a definitive Hopper monograph. Published for a massive retrospective at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and the Grand Palais in Paris, it approaches Hopper’s relatively small oeuvre in two sections. The first covers the artist’s formative years from approximately 1900 to 1924, examining a selection of sketches, paintings, drawings, illustrations, prints and watercolors, which are considered alongside works by painters that influenced Hopper, such as Winslow Homer, Robert Henri, John Sloan, Edgar Degas and Walter Sickert. The second section considers the years from 1925 onwards, addressing his mature output through chronological but thematic groupings. Comprehensive in its scope, with a wealth of color reproductions, Hopper is the last word on the artist.

Edward Hopper 2020 Wall Calendar
by Edward Hopper, Whitney Museum of American Art in New York
Edward Hopper (American, 1882–1967) is often called one of the twentieth century’s greatest realists. His outdoor scenes capture atmosphere in all its incarnations, from early morning light and shadows, to the hot bright white of a summer day, to the fading warmth of sunset. “I like long shadows and early and late sunlight,” Hopper once said. “I am very much interested in light, and particularly sunlight, trying to paint sunlight without eliminating the form under it, if I can.” Hopper spent most of his career in New York and New England, amassing a body of work that includes somber interiors as well as moody seascapes and shadow-filled street scenes.

Edward Hopper 2018 Wall Calendar
American realist Edward Hopper (1882 1967) built his paintings around light. I like long shadows and early and late sunlight. I am very much interested in light, . . . trying to paint sunlight without eliminating the form under it, if I can. Early in his career, Hopper turned to making etchings in which he registered fine gradations of luminosity. In later paintings he applied this skill to atmospheric studies of land and sea, of dwellings both humble and grand, and of the introspective people who inhabit them.
