Unveiling Edward Hopper: The Dark Genius Behind Iconic American Art

[@janemcginnis-glynn9234]

Glad to see you back. And, with Edward Hopper, to boot. You’ve been missed. Thanks so much for another great production.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you for your kind comment, much appreciated.

[@tomjenz]

Beautifully produced, presented, and told. Just excellent. 19 minutes of education

[@Lophophorawilliamsii]

Hopper's work is absolutely wonderful and timeless. It teaches us that we can look at ourselves and see ourselves as we really are without the need to escape the fear of emptiness, the fear of loneliness, the fear of stagnation, the fear of not reaching the goal and not getting what we want.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

True

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

Thank you so much. I love Edward Hoppers work. Your videos are also works of art. I was worried that you were not going to produce anymore videos. I often send your link to other artist in Sandpoint, Idaho. They are very educational. Thank you. Please continue to educate us.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Many thanks for sharing my videos, much appreciated. Cheers

[@barrymoore4470]

Sandpoint is author Marilynne Robinson's hometown. She used it as the model for her fictional town of Fingerbone in her 1980 masterpiece 'Housekeeping'. So interesting to come across a post from a Sandpoint resident.

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

Yes. She is I think, four years older than me.

Thank you for another fascinating video, what an interesting artist Edward Hopper was. I love your new aesthetically pleasing format with the dates and information displayed. Looking forward to your next presentation... Goodbyeeeeee 😊

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you, I'm glad you like the format, finally got to one that works.

[@tangiblepress]

Excellent. Great to see the concurrent historical photos and the many early works not often reproduced. All those planes of color. Mondrian overlapping and at angles.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

[@angelahoutz210]

Thank you so much for your work putting this video together. Edward Hopper has always been a favorite of mine since I first saw his work during art school. While I've enjoyed his style, I admit I didn't know much about his life. Thanks to you, I do and I can share it with my own students. Thank you!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video and wish your students all the best from me too. Cheers

[@kristinamullen4066]

I love his work, the colors and light and shadow and the 20s and 30s clorhing❤

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I like his work too.

[@colinr.parrish7621]

Nice to see your videos agin - Hopper very interesting artist!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Many thanks!

[@TSMOWRU]

Edward Hopper is one of my favorite painters of the XX century!!! Thank you for your video.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barrymoore4470]

Very interesting, comprehensive survey of this important artist's legacy. I admit to finding Hopper's rendering of his human figures deficient, but his command of atmosphere and mood more than make up for this particular liability. His famous picture 'Nighthawks' is one of the supreme icons of the twentieth century, perfectly encapsulating a sense of urban alienation so peculiar to that troubled era, that yet entices with its air of pensive mystery.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Interesting point about his figures. When you look at the many drawings of figures he did throughout his life they are very competent, but I agree some of the painted figures sometimes look a little crudely executed.

So happy you are sharing art again... 😃 I love Robert Henri's (approx 3:23) book, "The Art Spirit"... 🤩 Thank you for the education 🙂

Wonderful video! Learned a lot

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patrickwalsh2361]

Yes! Not only a new art video - but you chose one of my favorite artists! (After watching) Thanks Paul. Another excellent video - mostly interesting facts that aren’t included in many of the most popular books.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Cheers

[@CSchaeken]

Thank you, it was great to see a lot of his earlier work. So glad you’re back. Lovely jumper too 😉

Muy bien comunicado. Edward Hopper siempre será recordado por su intensa observación de la naturaleza humana. 🎉 Felicitaciones y saludos 🎉

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Muchas gracias

[@masudashizue777]

I liked Hopper's paintings of building rooftops.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Yes, an unusual choice for a subject.

[@JaneCarr-tf7ro]

Thank you very much.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

You are welcome!

[@niklaskroehnke]

Thank you very much :) inspiring as always :)

[@SuperPsychoSheep]

Glad you're back, such a lack of good art content.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thanks

[@anthonycavallero6637]

The house in the movie PSYCHO That blew me away.😮!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Yes, it's brilliant, as was the film.

[@christiantettinek644]

I've waited a long time for this wonderful video. Hopper always was one of my favorit painters and this video shows in a short amount of time all the importent aspects of his life! I hope to see many more of your epic videos! I would have liked you as my arthistory professor at academy. Greetings from Austria from your fanatic pupil Christian.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Many thanks again Christian, your support is much appreciated. Cheers

[@diane-fm4fn]

Some time ago maybe 5 years ago I saw a showing at the Met of a lot of Hopper's work that I had never seen before, quite a volume of work that they have had in storage apparently. Such a shame it is kept away from the public. Make one wonder about the volume of work of other artists the Met has stored away.

[@channel-your-flannel]

It's very interesting to watch how you developed from 'MELODRAMA! Dear Theo...' to a more reserved style of content. I love both, but your Van Gogh one was my very first introduction to you so perhaps I'm a little biased.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Well, the van Gogh video was when I thought I could act, things have moved on a bit since then. Amazed you have managed to stick with me this long. Cheers

[@channel-your-flannel]

@@ArtHistorySchool Fair enough. I love the charm of your older videos as I'm sure many do, but hey it's a pleasure to see someone evolve their style and stuff when they figure it's not working out. Thanks for keeping us entertained and informed with your channel, I know it sounds cheesy but I find myself unable to write in any other way lol

[@ArtHistorySchool]

@channel-your-flannel Thank you, its people like you that keep me going, much appreciated. Cheers

[@dd52161]

A fact that is often overlooked - he smoked a great deal of opium in the 1930's & 40's

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I think most artists would have indulged at that time.

[@dd52161]

@@ArtHistorySchool Yes definitely, myself included. that is why i lost my job recently. thank you

[@kristinamullen4066]

I Don t see isolation or loneliness.I see beautiful colors, forms and atmosphere.

[@consideredwhisper]

I wonder what became of Josephine’s artistic career? Was she yet another female artist who had to sacrifice her creativity to bolster that of her male partner?

[@ArtHistorySchool]

It seems that was the case.

[@jbide7178]

Robert Henri pronounced his name Hen-rye

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Strange he chose the French version of his surname rather than the Anglicized version.

[@jbide7178]

@ArtHistorySchool he made it up as a teenager and mispronounced it, basically. Now there's a story you shd do. Very interesting.
