Includes bibliographical references (page 96).European beginnings -- Pictures of the New World -- The frontier of civilization -- Man and nature -- Self and other -- Transformations of the real : Hopper as modernist -- Edward Hopper 1882-1967 : life and work.Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered as one of the first important American painters in 20th century art. After decades of patient work, Hopper enjoyed a success and popularity that since the 1950s has continually grown. In canvas after canvas he painted the loneliness of urban people. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, and abandoned houses, depicted in a brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of colour, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet.- Subjects: Hopper, Edward, 1882-1967.; Hopper, Edward, 1882-1967; Realism in art.; Painting, American; Art, Modern.;
