    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1989 Volume V: America as Myth The HopperVille Express Curriculum Unit 89.05.01 by Casey Cassidy This curriculum unit is designed to utilize Edward Hopper’s realistic 20th century paintings as a “vehicle” to transport middle school children from the hills and seasides of New England, through the metropolis of New York City, and across the plains of the western United States. As our unit continues along its journey, it will cross a timeline of approximately forty years which will serve to highlight technological improvements in transportation, changes in period attire, and various architectural styles. We will experience a sense of nostalgia as we view a growing spirit of nationalistic pride as we watch America grow, change, and move forward through the eyes of Edward Hopper. The strategies in this unit will encourage the youngsters to use various skills for learning. Each student will have the opportunity to read, to critically examine slides and lithographs of selected Hopper creations, to fully participate in teacherled discussions of these works of art, and to participate first hand as a commercial artist—i.e. they will be afforded an opportunity to go out into their community, traveling on foot or by car (as Edward Hopper did on countless occasions), to photograph or to sketch buildings, scenes, or structures similar to commonplace areas that Hopper painted himself. In this way, we hope to create a sense of the challenge facing every artist as they themselves seek to create their own masterpieces. Hopper was able “to portray the commonplace and make the ordinary poetic.”1 We hope our students will be able to understand these skills and to become familiar with the decisions, the inconveniences, and the obstacles of every artist as they ply their trade.

  • With His Art and Legacies Edward Hopper
    Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Dergisi, 2020, Cilt 2, Sayı 2, 173-184 WITH HIS ART AND LEGACIES EDWARD HOPPER Ufuk ÇETİN1 Abstract The works of Edward Hopper, one of the most important artists of America in the 20th century, are universal. Its impressive content is emotionally explained to the lives at the contemporary audience. He illustrates moments and more significantly, characters nearly every viewer can instantly know. There is no ambiguity inside Hopper’s works in a visual cultural way. He impacted lots of artists, photographers, filmmakers, set designers, dancers, writers, and his effect has touched many artists like Rothko, Segal and Oursler, who work with different mediums. He is an interesting artist in the way of impressing nearly all photographers from Arbus to Eggleston. Including Mendes, Lynch and Welles, generations have been inspired from Hopper’s dramatic viewpoints, lighting, and moods. His painting, “Residence by the Railroad” (1925) stimulated Alfred Hitchcock’s house in Psycho (1960) as well as that in Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven (1978). This article introduces the artist with some examples of his personality and samples from his works. Hopper’s paintings are attractive to some writers and musicians. For instance, Tom Waits made an album known as “Nighthawks on the Diner”. Also, Madonna selected a name for a live performance tour after Hooper’s “Girlie Display”.

Crouch August 2007 This thesis titled Rhetoric and Redress: Edward Hopper’s Adaptation of the American Sublime by RACHAEL M. CROUCH has been approved for the School of Art and the College of Fine Arts by Jeannette Klein Assistant Professor of Art History Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts Abstract CROUCH, RACHAEL M., M.F.A., August 2007, Art History Rhetoric and Redress: Hopper’s Adaptation of the American Sublime (80 pp.) Director of Thesis: Jeannette Klein The primary objective of this thesis is to introduce a new form of visual rhetoric called the “urban sublime.” The author identifies certain elements in the work of Edward Hopper that suggest a connection to earlier American landscape paintings, the pictorial conventions of which locate them within the discursive formation of the American Sublime. Further, the widespread and persistent recognition of Hopper’s images as unmistakably American, links them to the earlier landscapes on the basis of national identity construction. The thesis is comprised of four parts: First, the definitional and methodological assumptions of visual rhetoric will be addressed; part two includes an extensive discussion of the sublime and its discursive appropriation. Part three focuses on the American Sublime and its formative role in the construction of

  • Whitney Museum Loans Two Edward Hopper Paintings to the White House
    President Barack Obama looks at the Edward Hopper paintings now displayed in the Oval Office, February 7, 2014. The paintings are Cobb's Barns, South Truro, top, and Burly Cobb’s House, South Truro. (Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy) Whitney Museum Loans Two Edward Hopper Paintings to The White House NEW YORK, February 11, 2014—The Whitney Museum of American Art is delighted to announce the loan of two Edward Hopper paintings to The White House. The two paintings, Burly Cobb’s House, South Truro and Cobb’s Barns, South Truro, both dated 1930–1933, were installed in the Oval Office last week. “We are pleased and honored to lend two paintings by Edward Hopper—the artist with whom the Whitney Museum of American Art is most closely identified—to The White House for display in the Oval Office,” said Adam D. Weinberg, the Alice Pratt Brown Director of the Whitney. “Edward Hopper’s history with the Whitney goes back to our roots in 1920, when he was given his first one-person exhibition at the Whitney Studio Club, forerunner to the Whitney Museum. Since the founding of the Museum in 1930, we have exhibited Hopper’s work more than any other artist and are proud to house the greatest collection of Hoppers in the world. We hope these beautiful Cape Cod landscapes will give great pleasure to President Obama and to all who see them.” Edward Hopper (1882–1967) is universally recognized as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. Known primarily for the oil paintings of urban life and the American landscape that he created from the 1920s to the 1960s, Hopper subtly intertwined observations of the real with his imagination to create an aesthetic that has influenced not only painting but also popular culture, photography, and film.

  • The Mind in Motion: Hopper's Women Through Sartre's Existential Freedom
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIV(1) 2015 WANG The Mind in Motion: Hopper’s Women through Sartre’s Existential Freedom Zhenping WANG University of Louisville, USA Abstract: This is a study of the cross-cultural influence of Jean-Paul Sartre on American painter Edward Hopper through an analysis of his women in solitude in his oil paintings, particularly the analysis of the mind in motion of these figures. Jean-Paul Sartre was a twentieth century French existentialist philosopher whose theory of existential freedom is regarded as a positive thought that provides human beings infinite possibilities to hope and to create. His philosophy to search for inner freedom of an individual was delivered to the US mainly through his three lecture visits to New York and other major cities and the translation by Hazel E. Barnes of his Being and Nothingness. Hopper is one of the finest painters of the twentieth-century America. He is a native New Yorker and an artist who is searching for himself through his painting. Hopper’s women figures are usually seated, standing, leaning forward toward the window, and all are looking deep out the window and deep into the sunlight. These women are in their introspection and solitude. These figures are usually posited alone, but they are not depicted as lonely. Being in outward solitude, they are allowed to enjoy the inward freedom to desire, to imagine, and to act. The dreaming, imagining, expecting are indications of women’s desires, which display their interior possibility or individual agency. This paper is an attempt to apply Sartre’s philosophy to see that these women’s individual agency determines their own identity, indicating the mind in motion.

  • Reasons for Moving: Mark Strand on the Art of Edward Hopper1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Viagens pela Palavra. provided by Repositório Aberto da Universidade Aberta 129 Reasons for Moving: Mark Strand on the Art of Edward Hopper1 Jeffrey Scott Childs Universidade Aberta Edward Hopper’s work has repeatedly been regarded by a range of critics as among the most significant productions of 20th century American art and has been discussed in connection with phenomena as diverse as French symbolism (both in poetry and painting), the work of Piet Mondrian and of the so-called ash can school, as well as viewed as a forerunner of both pop art and abstract expressionism. A recent exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art included several of Hopper’s paintings under the rubric of “Figurative Expressionism.”1 If this description is less than helpful in critically locating Hopper’s work, I hope it will suggest some of the complexities inherent in coming to terms with his art and encourage viewers to look at it from a variety of different perspectives, which, as I hope to show, is one of Hopper’s most significant projects. Mark Strand is the author of numerous works dating from his first volume of poetry, Sleeping with One Eye Open, published in 1964, to his most recent, Chicken, Shadow, Moon & More, published in 2000. Among these are translations of the poets Raphael Alberti and Carlos Drummond de Andrade, as well as books on painters, such as William Bailey, and painting (which he studied under Josef Albers at the Yale Art School from 1956 to 1959).
