Edward Hopper by Ulf Küster Pdf

Jene unvergleichliche Melancholie im bildnerischen Werk von Edward Hopper lenkt bisweilen den Blick auch auf biografische Details. An welchen konkreten Orten hat dieser Meister der Einsamkeit gelebt und gewirkt? Was waren die für ihn wichtigen Einflüsse, während er an den großen Bildern Amerikas gearbeitet hat? Ulf Küster geht in diesem wunderbar klug und leicht geschriebenen A bis Z genau den Themen nach, die zugleich viel über den Maler und seine Interessen erzählen und dabei doch nie den Künstler und die gebotene Distanz zu seinen unvergleichlichen Bildern aus dem Blick verlieren. So flaniert Küster entlang dem ABC von der »Amerikanischen Landschaft« über »Buick«, »Goethe« oder »Schatten und Sonnenlicht« bis zum Stichwort »Zeit« durch Leben und Werk von Edward Hopper und öffnet dabei viele neue Türen oder Einsichten, die wiederum den Blick auf Hoppers Bilder bereichern und neue Lesarten ermöglichen. Ein ebenso unterhaltsames wie informatives Buch.

Edward Hopper by Fondation Beyeler (Riehen) Pdf

Edward Hopper's world-famous, instantly recognizable paintings articulate an idiosyncratic view of modern life, unfolding in a world of lonely lighthouses, gas stations, movie theaters, bars and hotel rooms. With his impressive subjects, independent pictorial vocabulary and virtuoso play of colors, Hopper's work continues to this day to color our memory and imaginary of the United States in the first half of the 20th century. Hopper began his career as an illustrator and became famous around the globe for his oil paintings. These paintings testify to the artist's great interest in the effects of color and his mastery in depicting light and shadow, at work whether the artist was painting alienated figures in dreamlike interiors or desolate American landscapes. Edward Hopper: A Fresh Look on Landscape is published to accompany a major exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler of Hopper's iconic images of the vast American landscape. The catalog gathers together paintings, watercolors and drawings made by the artist between the 1910s and the 1960s, and supplements them with essays by Erika Doss, David Lubin and Katharina Rüppell, focused on the subject of depicting the landscape.

Edward Hopper Paints His World by Robert Burleigh Pdf

As a boy, Edward Hopper knew exactly what he wanted to be when he grew up: on the cover of his pencil box, he wrote the words EDWARD HOPPER, WOULD-BE ARTIST. He traveled to New York and to Paris to hone his craft. And even though no one wanted to buy his paintings for a long time, he never stopped believing in his dream to be an artist. He was fascinated with painting light and shadow and his works explore this challenge. Edward Hopper's story is one of courage, resilience, and determination. In this striking picture book biography, Robert Burleigh and Wendell Minor invite young readers into the world of a truly special American painter (most celebrated for his paintings "Nighthawks" and "Gas").

Edward Hopper by Gail Levin Pdf

New York Times Notable Book Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist Wall Street Journal—One of Five Best Artist Biographies Edward Hopper's canvasses are filled with stripped-down spaces and unrelenting light, evocative landscapes, and the lonely aspects of men and women seemingly isolated in their surroundings. What kind of man had this haunting vision, and what kind of life engendered this art? No one is better qualified to answer these questions than art historian Gail Levin, author and curator of the major studies and exhibitions of Hopper's work. In this intimate biography she reveals the true nature and personality of the man himself—and of the woman who shared his life, the artist Josephine Nivison.

Edward Hopper's New York by Avis Berman,Edward Hopper Pdf

Illustrated by over 50 of Edward Hopper's most powerful evocations of New York, Avis Berman's essay explores how Hopper and his work illuminate each other by analyzing what his New York is - and is not. Ever the contrarian, he offers an alternative to what other American artists seized on - the new, the gigantic, the technologically exciting. Hopper stayed away from tourist attractions or landmarks of the city's glamorous skyline. His preference for nondescript vernacular buildings is emblematic of the larger Hopper paradox: he makes emptiness full, silence articulate, banality intense, plainness mysterious, and tawdriness noble.

Edward Hopper by Sergio Rossi,Giovanni Scarduelli Pdf

A brilliant graphic novel that traces the life and work of Edward Hopper, one of America's most acclaimed artists. This groundbreaking graphic novel delves into the life of the acclaimed artist Edward Hooper, whose iconic works depict quintessentially American scenes and experiences. While many of Hopper's most acclaimed works have been embraced by American culture, the artist himself rejected much of the lyricism and romance that his audience imposed on his paintings. This unique overview of Hopper's life and career offers a fascinating and unflinching portrait of an artist trying to establish himself and define his own style. Using Hopper's own words as a jumping off point, the book traces his roots as an art student and commercial illustrator; his life-changing time in Europe; his rocky relationship with his wife Jo, and his incredible success later in life. It also shows how, as he became increasingly famous, he grew more taciturn and resolute in his disparagement of American society and the labels thrust on him. Using clean lines and a palette that mimics Hopper's own, the book's illustrations reflect the style and substance of the artist's life--and help create a refreshing reconsideration of a creative genius who never wavered from his vision.

Edward Hopper by Stefan Koja Pdf

Edward Hopper and the Old Masters - a new look at the American artist. Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is one of the most renowned American artists of the twentieth century, known for his distinctive renderings of urban life. Through his scenes of everyday life, he opened a window into his own emotions and thoughts. This publication offers a fresh look at Hopper's oeuvre and analyzes it in dialogue with works by the Old Masters. Central to this catalogue are points of intersection between the works of Hopper and those of artists such as Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675). Both artists depicted figures in scenes of solitude that allow the viewer a glimpse into the subject's inner life, such as in Hopper's Morning Sun, 1952, and Vermeer's newly restored Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window. Although the paintings were created almost three hundred years apart and in different locations and cultural settings, they reveal intriguing similarities that go beyond resonant compositional aspects. Viewing Hopper's work through this new lens, the pieces in this volume challenge traditional interpretations of the work of this American master.

In Sunlight or In Shadow by Lawrence Block Pdf

A truly unprecedented literary achievement by author and editor Lawrence Block, a newly-commissioned anthology of seventeen superbly-crafted stories inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper, including Jeffery Deaver, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, Lee Child, and Robert Olen Butler, among many others. "Edward Hopper is surely the greatest American narrative painter. His work bears special resonance for writers and readers, and yet his paintings never tell a story so much as they invite viewers to find for themselves the untold stories within." So says Lawrence Block, who has invited seventeen outstanding writers to join him in an unprecedented anthology of brand-new stories: In Sunlight or In Shadow. The results are remarkable and range across all genres, wedding literary excellence to storytelling savvy. Contributors include Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Olen Butler, Michael Connelly, Megan Abbott, Craig Ferguson, Nicholas Christopher, Jill D. Block, Joe R. Lansdale, Justin Scott, Kris Nelscott, Warren Moore, Jonathan Santlofer, Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, and Lawrence Block himself. Even Gail Levin, Hopper’s biographer and compiler of his catalogue raisonée, appears with her own first work of fiction, providing a true account of art theft on a grand scale and told in the voice of the country preacher who perpetrated the crime. In a beautifully produced anthology as befits such a collection of acclaimed authors, each story is illustrated with a quality full-color reproduction of the painting that inspired it.
