I love Edward Hopper’s work a lot. He is one of the few painters who can actually pass the image of total solitude, disconnectedness and alineation of humans in a society. I think that it was his own personal feelings about himself and about life in general.

I don't see loneliness everywhere as much as the narration proposes. I see still life, but of places and people, not a table with food or flowers. Disconnection, which to me looks like a form of keen observation without emotion or prejudice. They all have the sense of observing without the awareness of the observed. One can be alone without being lonely, just quiet and focused on the moment at hand. A subjects appear as involved in their own thoughts and actions without despair.
@markknego57439 ай бұрын
A very good point. You went beyond the typical loneliness interpretation, into an awareness. And perhaps it is an awareness of mortality, or a questioning of life, but without emotional hand-wringing. There is a heightened awareness to life in Hopper's beautiful, engaging work, as each moment is recorded before it disappears forever..

The set for Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Rear Window" was indeed influenced by Edward Hopper's paintings, particularly in terms of visual style, themes of urban isolation, and the voyeuristic gaze. Hitchcock adopted the framing of paintings like Hopper’s Automat (1927), Night Windows (1928), Hotel Room (1931), and Room in New York (1932) for shots of Rear Window’s scenes. The tension and spectacle in "Rear Window" relied on what was obscured or unseen, similar to the power of exclusion in Hopper’s paintings

I think the interpretations of these paintings in this doc film is, at times, a bit much. Hopper himself, as is mentioned, was not necessarily trying to convey a statement or message with his work. I have been the artistic sort my whole life, inheriting the impulse to create from my mother, who was an artist and musician. One day years ago, I was painting at a recreation and parks facility in Columbus, OH, where there was a building that was expressly used for the creation of art. One of the other painters noticed my oil painting, which I copied from a photo I had taken some years earlier of an abandoned barn in a wheat field in Washington state. He said that the work reminded him of Edward Hopper. Never having heard of Hopper, I looked him up and immediately liked his paintings. I couldn't believe I'd never heard of him. Anyway, he deserves his spot as being icon among American artists!

As someone who has had a lifelong interest in art, for what that is worth, I have always had an interest in, and admiration for, hopper.
To me, now that I've seen the video, it seems that he was a painter of urban still lives with lonely figures in them, who was interested in the interplay of lights. Somehow, it reminds me of the Italian introspective still life painter Morandi and the Dutch painter Vermeer. A thoughts provoking artist, though his paintins give me a sort of anguish.
@arti-facts-4u Жыл бұрын
Edward Hopper and Giorgio Morandi, though different in their subject matter and emotional tone, share some similarities in their works. Both artists excelled in etching, painting, and watercolor, and pursued individualistic ways of seeing, making their works easily recognizable. Hopper's work is characterized by remoteness, melancholia, isolation, and alienation, while Morandi's work is filled with relationships, emotions, warmth, and tenderness. Both artists worked outside mainstream movements and produced quiet, poetic works.

Always been fascinated with "Nighthawks" before learning anything else about Edward Hopper. I've studied this painting many times before now, but this time I discovered one small "spacial" mistake (which by no means detracts from the artistic value of this artwork). That is, the elbow of the man sitting alone clips from view a corner of the coffee cup next to him. However, the perspective in the scene places the cup closer to the viewer than the man's elbow, meaning that the cup should clip part of the elbow rather than the elbow clipping part of the cup. Another minor point is that cigarette smoking culture was still in high swing in 1942, and conveniently placed ash trays were common even in eating establishments, however, the man with a cigarette in his hand has no ash tray nearby.

I'm a non-professional artist, coming from a long line of artists (my father is a landscape painter, his mother (my grandmother) was an art teacher, a great-aunt was also an artist, and some of my brothers and sisters as well are talented). When I was in my Advanced Placement art class in high school and later on in college, I remember disliking Edward Hopper's paintings. At the time I was only seeing his more famous, popular ones with the alienated seeming people in them, and I guess that's why I didn't like them because of the feeling of loneliness, alienation, and even in the choice of colors -- coldness. Overall, I didn't have good experiences in school as my family moved often and I was always having to start over, so perhaps this also had something to do with my dislike. I always preferred the bright, usually warm, inviting paintings of the Impressionists (who, to this day are still my favorite). However, as I've gotten older and learned more about Edward Hopper and have also searched for more of his paintings, I can now say that I definitely very much admire his work and understand and appreciate the messages in them. I especially like the colors he worked with, because even though they have a cool tonality/hue to them, they are also serene and calming as well as nostalgic. I am so grateful that we can now find these wonderful biographical documentaries with high quality photos of these artists who we all admire.

It is given a wide berth by all of the other predators, even the very largest sloths.

The continuous jumping back and forth to works from different time periods made it hard to get a direct feeling for how is art evolved. Most troublesome was your insisting on making up your own explanations for what is going on in the artwork (and sometimes weak, often debatable ones at that) in spite of the actual artist who did the work saying there is no story, the picture is what it is. Yet you must impose your vision as some sort of meta-truth that even Hopper may have not been aware of. And the cliche "current day" negative judgements on people and times that were different.
