  • 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.

  • 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.

Hopper and the Stage 1 An empty stage typically signals a moment of transition between the reality the audience occupies outside of the performance and their emersion into the representation of reality presented on the stage. An empty stage at the start of the performance is an invitation for the audience to examine the objects before them and anticipate the action to follow. An empty stage at the end of a performance is an invitation for the audience to reflect upon what they have just seen. This latter moment is captured in one of the most famous passages from The Tempest: Our revels now are ended. These our actors As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air; And like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea all which it inherit, shall dissolve; And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind.

  • Poets and Paintings March 22, 2013 Where Light Looks: Edward Hopper
    Lowe 1 Conner K. Lowe Professor Jordan LTMO 190N: Poets and Paintings March 22, 2013 Where Light Looks: Edward Hopper and Ekphrasis “The whole answer is there on the canvas. I don’t know how I could explain it any further,” was only one of Edward Hopper’s opaque responses to the unyielding question: what does it mean? (Junker 13) The problem with his roundabout responses is that they implicitly deny the viability of any one meaning or narration of his paintings, which is exactly what they invite so evocatively. From his female figures to the austere barns and lighthouses of Cape Cod bathed in sunlight, Hopper’s portrayals of America have coalesced to form the basis of the world’s perception of the country throughout the first half of the twentieth century. They have remained so prominent for the American identity that films, literature, and the American Dream itself have been attempting to define and redefine themselves through his depictions of land and cityscapes, as well as those who inhabit them. But what brought Hopper’s paintings to their long reign of cultural influence on the American identity? Edward Hopper was born in Nyack, New York on July 22, 1882, making his entry into adulthood perfectly coincide with that of the nineteenth into the twentieth century. This was a time of turbulent change in the ways Americans lived their lives, as the turn of the century brought with it overly-abundant new forms of technology, such as electric lighting (Levin, Intimate 3). Hopper’s interests in art grew from a young age and were unceasingly fed by encouragement and support from his parents who helped him enroll in the New York School of Art in 1900, where he studied under the realist painter Robert Henri (Levin, Intimate 16, 33-41).

  • Edward Hopper's Urban Landscapes
    © COPYRIGHT by Can Gulan 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED To my mother, father, and aunt. I thank them for always supporting and believing in me. EDWARD HOPPER’S URBAN LANDSCAPES: MODERN EXPERIENCE AND ALIENATION BY Can Gulan ABSTRACT Edward Hopper’s works are generally associated with alienation, but the sources of this feeling are not studied extensively and in a comprehensive manner. Hopper’s representation of deserted and bleak cityscapes focus on loneliness and isolation of urban centers to create this feeling of alienation, which is supported by subtle depictions of dangerous possibilities at night. This alienating modern experience is also related to the transition from rural to urban areas and the resulting adjustment period while this transition creates tensions between nature and civilization in Hopper’s works. Hopper’s use of light is another alienating aspect of his works, especially in artificially lighted scenes. Hopper also focused on new voyeuristic possibilities of urban life and the way he represented these qualities created alienating experiences for the viewers. All these aspects of Hopper’s works are contributing to the feeling of alienation and they are all related to the modern experience. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Helen Langa, who encouraged me throughout this process, helped me to better organize my arguments and supported my ideas with valuable feedbacks. I would also like to thank Dr. Juliet Bellow and Dr. Andrea Pearson for their contributions. Finally, I would like to thank all art history faculty and fellow graduate students of American University for the friendly and supportive atmosphere. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................................

  • EDWARD HOPPER's BLACK SUN Arthur Kroker
    Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory/Revue canadienne de theorie politique et sociale, Volume X. N. 1-2 (1986) . THE AESTHETICS OF SEDUCTION: EDWARD HOPPER'S BLACK SUN Arthur Kroker Edward Hopper is the American painter of technicisme. If by techni- cisme is meant an urgent belief in the historical inevitability of the fully realized technological society and, if further, technicisme is understood to be the guiding impulse of the American Republic, at least since the incep- tion of the United States as a society with no history before the age of progress, then Hopper is that curiosity of an American artist who, breaking decisively with the equation of technology and freedom in the American mind, went over instead to the alternative vision of technology as depriva- tion. Quantum Physics as Decline There is, in particular, one painting by Hopper which reveals fully the price which is exacted for admission to the fully realized technological society, and which speaks directly to the key issue of technology and power in the postmodern condition. Titled simply, yet evocatively, Rooms by the Sea, the painting consists simply of two rooms which are linked only by an aesthetic symmetry of form (the perfectly parallel rays of sunlight) ; which are empty (there are no human presences) and also perfectly still (the vacancy of the sea without is a mirror-image of the deadness within). Everything in the painting is transparent, nameless, relational and seduc- tive; and, for just that reason, the cumulative emotional effect of the painting is one of anxiety and dread. Rooms by the Sea is an emblematic image of technology and culture as degeneration : nature (the sea) and culture (the rooms) are linked only accidentally in a field of purely spatial contiguity; all human presences have been expelled and, consequently, the ARTHUR KROKER Edward Hopper, Room- by the Sea question of the entanglement of identity and technique never arises; and a menacing mood of aesthetic symmetry is the keynote feature.

Hopper beyond the commonplace EDWARD HOPPER BEYOND THE COMMONPLACE. A review of his work under the light of Walter Benjamin´s concept of poverty of experience. Ana Pardo García 1 Hopper beyond the commonplace Abstract The title of this dissertation —Edward Hopper beyond the commonplace— alludes to the fact that, although the work of Edward Hopper is widely acknowledged in the history of the twentieth century art, critical literature focused on it has resorted to a number of labels (Americanness, alienation, loneliness and the like) which, over time, have become clichés with very little critical insight and with very weak theoretical and visual foundations. My first aim is, therefore, to develop a different critical framework which is up to the task of analysing the indisputable visual relevance of Hopper’s work.
