  • 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.

  • Edward Hopper, Landscape, and Literature
    Edward Hopper, Landscape, and Literature Gail LEVIN The art of Edward Hopper, the American realist painter, contains many clues that allow us to trace his interest in literature, which in turn helps to characterize his particular brand of realism. １） Signs of Hopper’s engagement with literature emerge already in his boyhood. Born in 1882, Hopper grew up in Nyack, New York, a town on the Hudson River, some forty miles north of New York City, where he went to attend art school and lived as an adult, until his death in 1967, shortly before his eighty-fifth birthday. Among the early indications that literature affected Hopper is a plaque that he designed for a Boys’ Yacht Club, which he formed together with three pals. Hopper designed this plaque with the names of the members’ boats. While the other boys chose female names that were upbeat and innocuous, Edward’s choice, Water Witch (Fig. 1), telegraphs an effect of reading on his imagination. He took the name for his boat from The Water- Witch, James Fenimore Cooper’s 1830 novel that tells how the “exploits, mysterious character, and daring of the Water-Witch, and of him who sailed her, were in that day, the frequent subjects of anger, admiration and surprise.... ” ２） His boyhood interest led Hopper to build not only a sailboat but a canoe. Later he would remark, “I thought at one time I’d like to be a naval architect because I am interested in boats, but I got to be a Fig. 1: Edward Hopper, Water Witch on painter instead.” ３） His interest in nautical life sign, Private Collection.

  • Room Guide Edward Hopper
    FONDATION BEYELER E EDWARD HOPPER INTRODUCTION 26 January – 17 May 2020 Edward Hopper (1882–1967) is one of the great familiar yet ultimately little known exponents of modern art. Some of his works have become exceptionally popular and belong to the cultural memory of our age. Yet some aspects of his work are known only to a few specialists. Many of his paintings, as well as his watercolors and drawings, thus remain to be discovered. Our exhibition makes an important contribution in this respect. For the first time, it brings together Hopper’s landscapes, including urban landscapes, providing visitors with deep insights into the artist’s external and internal worlds. Renowned filmmaker Wim Wenders, a long-time, self-avowed Hopper fan, has created a personal tribute to Cover: Edward Hopper the artist, the 3D film Two or Three Things I Know about Cape Cod Morning, 1950 (detail) Edward Hopper, specially for the exhibition at the Oil on canvas, 86.7 x 102.3 cm Smithsonian American Art Museum Fondation Beyeler. Starting with motifs from Hopper’s © Heirs of Josephine Hopper / 2020 ProLitteris, Zurich. pictures, he revives the artist’s characteristic melancholy Photo: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gene Young mood.

  • Edward Hopper's Adaptation of the American Sublime
    Rhetoric and Redress: Edward Hopper‘s Adaptation of the American Sublime A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Fine Arts Rachael M. 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

  • 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).

Inscription: lower right: EDWARD HOPPER; on reverse of frame: frame made for / Edward Hopper by / Carl Sandelin framemaker / 133 E 60th St NYC. Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase, William A. Clark Fund) 2014.79.23 ENTRY In a vast expanse of open sea, a catboat heels gently to starboard as it navigates a course that has brought it close to a bell buoy. [1] Under feathery cirrus clouds and a brilliant blue sky, the boat’s three passengers and pilot gaze at, and presumably listen to, the buoy’s bell, which tilts toward them as it crests one of a sequence of rolling waves. Although Edward Hopper is renowned for lonely urban scenes that have led his work to be understood as emblematic of the mood of the modern city and the isolation of its inhabitants, he was also a dedicated painter of nautical subjects. Born in Nyack, New York, Hopper spent his formative years sketching the maritime industry of this bustling shipbuilding port on the Hudson River. [2] From 1930 onward, Hopper and his wife, Josephine “Jo” Nivison, whom he had met in art school, spent summers painting in Truro, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. In 1934 they built a cottage in South Truro; Ground Swell was painted in the adjacent studio.

    Edward Hopper: the master of urban isolation in a new online show | Financial Times 27.04.20, 0823 Visual Arts Edward Hopper: the master of urban isolation in a new online show A Wim Wenders film brings an added dimension to the Beyeler Foundation’s exhibition Jackie Wullschläger APRIL 24 2020 A barelegged blonde in a pink slip, knees pulled up to her chest, sits alone on a bed at a window in an apartment high above the city. Jo Hopper was 69 but looked 40, taut, still and silent, when she posed for her husband in 1952 for “Morning Sun”. In his uncanny new film Two or Three Things I Know About Edward Hopper, created for the Beyeler Foundation’s current exhibition, Wim Wenders has reconstructed the scene with eerie 3D precision. In close-up, the woman, unnerved, suddenly blinks. Wenders’ camera scrolls to another mesmerisingly recreated vista of iconic desolation: the row of pumps at an empty petrol station in “Gas” (1940), shining neon on a deserted road at dusk. As if immersed in a Hopper painting, we wait beneath the dense forest; a streamlined Chrysler draws up from nowhere — the man-made plunged into the wilderness of nature. “Gas”, lent to Basel from MoMA, is the poster image for a show that turns on Hopper’s ambivalent evocations of solitude amid the vastness of America. Framed as if flying over the canopy of treetops beyond the road, the Mobil logo of the winged horse Pegasus hangs on an aluminium sign dangling above the pumps and their solitary attendant: emblem of freedom, or the lonely dead end of the mundane? If the Beyeler Foundation had predicted pandemic and lockdown when planning this year’s big spring and summer shows, it could hardly have come up with more apt artists: Edward Hopper, lyricist of modern isolation and alienation, followed by Goya, master of anxiety and nightmarish imagining.
