Beacher 031308-A.Indd THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 24, Number 10 Thursday, March 13, 2008 Edward Hopper, Modern Master by Barbara Stodola Despite their simple appearance, Edward Hopper’s paint- ings suggest more than meets the eye. In the 41 years since the artist’s death, his work has become more widely debated, more popular and, strange to say, even more modern than during his lifetime. Hopper was an enigma. Coming of age in the exciting atmo- sphere of early-20th century abstraction, Hopper held fast to a realist tradition. In an era dominated by theoretical art-talk, he spoke about his own art very little. “The only real infl uence I’ve ever had is myself,” he once told a museum director. This remark confounded the legions of art critics who would try to pigeon-hole his work into a historical system. The Art Institute of Chicago, which owns his famous “Night- hawks” (1942), is currently showcasing Hopper’s work oppo- site that of Winslow Homer, another quintessentially Ameri- can painter; and the contrasts between the two artists invite comparisons. While Homer immersed himself in the sun-fi lled outdoors, Hopper created somber interior scenes. If Homer’s paintings call to mind the writings of Mark Twain, Hopper’s Edward Hopper, portrayed in his dark shirt evoke the suspenseful mood of Hollywood’s fi lm noir. and fedora, resembles a character from an Continued on Page 2 Alfred Hitchcock fi lm. Hopper “Nighthawks” (1942), Hopper’s most famous painting, conveys an aura of mystery and foreboding.

Indoors, a waiter and three customers, one with his back to us, are quietly absorbed in their own business. It is a mysterious and haunting image, one that poses more questions than it answers. The man in the fedora, beside the woman, looks familiar. He re- sembles the self-portrait Hopper did some years earlier, a solemn visage with shadowed eyes, standing in a stairwell beside a closed door. Hopper, in his self-portrait, looks out at us. The faces drawn from the artist’s imagination, however, do not look out at us. Hopper created an entire world of self-absorbed individuals, solitary fi gures or couples who are not paying attention to us or to each other. They may be looking at a book, a newspaper, or a cup of coffee. Often they are gazing out the win- dow. The window is Hopper’s favorite compo- sitional device -- a window with curtains fl uttering or shades drawn tight, a window through which you can see a naked woman or a disheveled hotel room or a chop suey sign. You can’t help attaching some mean- ing to these windowed scenes, or symbol- ism, or some narrative that continues be- yond the edge of the canvas. You often feel like a voyeur, peeking in at a moment in- tended to be private. “Room in New York” (1932), glimpsed through an open window, reveals a couple out of touch with one another. “Early Sunday Morning” shows a row of windows above store-fronts and, even though no people are out and about, you have a strong sensa- tion of something going on behind those windows that will soon spill out onto the street. Even the house- portraits that Homer did took on an anthropomorphic character, with shuttered windows, like closed eyes, concealing their secrets. A street deserted except for its barber pole, fi re hydrant and shaded windows tells the story of “Early Sunday Morning” (1930.)

Hopper frequently incorporated elements from railroads, highways and bridges into his paintings -- lending a sense of travel to his imaginary world. He vacationed along Fashions! the Eastern seaboard at Truro, Maine, and Glouces- ter, Mass., painting lighthouses and, occasionally, fi shing vessels.

  • The Hopperville Express
    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.

  • Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.

  • Woody Guthrie's Angry Sons and Daughters
    “Seeds Blowin’ Up the Highway in the South Wind”: Woody Guthrie’s Angry Sons and Daughters Roxanne Harde University of Alberta, Augustana1 Abstract Both anger and hope drive Woody Guthrie’s protest songs. Lyrics like “This Land Is Your Land” offer a hopefully angry voice that continues to be heard in the work of contemporary American singer-songwriters. This essay analyzes the ways in which Guthrie’s voice and vision continue to inform the songs of Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and Mary Gauthier. By bringing Guthrie’s hopeful anger that insists on justice and mercy and precludes sentimentality, hostility, and nihilism into conversation with the artists who continue his legacy of activism, this paper looks to the “Seeds” Guthrie sowed. In November 2009, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert, Bruce Springsteen opened his set with an astute and angry commentary and then introduced the perpetually enraged Tom Morello before launching into a blistering version of “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” just one of many Springsteen songs that depend upon the work of Woody Guthrie. “If you pick up the newspaper, you see millions of people out of work; you see a blood fight over decent health care for our citizens, and you see people struggling to hold on to their homes,” Springsteen said: “If Woody Guthrie were alive today, he’d have a lot to write about: high times on Wall Street and hard times on Main Street.” Relatedly, when David Rawlings performs “I Hear Them All,” with or without 1 Copyright © Roxanne Harde, 2018.

    (9.29.18) https://lasvegasmagazine.com/entertainment/2017/sep/29/gary-levox-rascal-flatts-the- venetian/#/0 At the time of a mid-September interview, Gary LeVox’s week was one of support and remembrance. Two days before, the golden-voiced lead singer for Rascal Flatts answered calls at the Grand Ole Opry House during the Sept. 12 Hand in Hand Hurricane Harvey telethon. The next day, he attended a friends-and-family memorial for the late Troy Gentry, at the end of a week of mourning in Nashville for his longtime friend. Shortly after, he and bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney needed to pivot their attention to rehearsals for Rascal Flatts’ upcoming residency at The Venetian, Night to Shine. “It’s a really sad day here in Nashville,” says LeVox, who had just watched Vince Gill vow Nashville’s support to Gentry’s family during the public funeral, streamed live from the Grand Ole Opry on Sept. 14. “Troy and I were hunting buddies. I just saw him a couple of weeks ago at the Opry. We were sitting there talking about deer season getting ready to start. … We started at the same time Montgomery Gentry did. We were out there beating the streets up trying to get a song on the radio, all together. We were kind of the class of 2000-’01.” Looking back at those roots inspired the recording of Rascal Flatts’ 10th and latest album.

    1 Martin Johnston looked like a poet. The first time I saw him, he was sitting in the arched sandstone embrasure of one of the windows of the pseudo-Gothic building that housed the English Department at Sydney University. Dressed in a black skivvy and black pants so tight that they seemed to have been sprayed onto his pencil-thin frame, he was smoking a black Sobranie cigarette. Its clouds of aromatic smoke added to the halo-effect created by the sunlight catching on the split ends of his long, fine, dark hair. Yes, obviously a poet. Whenever any of us other students in the Second Year Honours seminar ventured an opinion, our tutor immediately asked Martin Johnston what he thought. As he replied, in his light, precise voice, he seemed to know everything about everything. At the end of class, she always pounced on him before he could escape out the door. ‘What is your mother writing about this week?’ she would inquire as he desperately fumbled another Black Russian from the packet. ‘And when will your father be publishing his sequel?’ Yes, he was that Martin Johnston. Son of Charmian Clift, who had a weekly column in the Sydney Morning Herald. Son of George Johnston, whose novel My Brother Jack had won the 1965 Miles Franklin Award. In the latter half of the 1960s, it seemed that you could barely open a newspaper without reading about this couple who had returned from a decade of expatriation in Greece to take the Australian literary world by storm. Even George Johnston’s chronic lung disease added to the mystique.

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).
