In this episode we look at the life and work of Edward Hopper.
We’re all living in Hopper paintings now. In this episode of The Painting Podcast I look into the life and work of Edward Hopper. We’ll dissect just what it is that makes his paintings so lonely and introspective. Take a look at the trajectory of his life, and analyze a few of his paintings. Hopper was influenced by the likes of William Merrit Chase, who started the Parsons School of Design, as well as John Sloan who was a precisionist master painter of rooftops and buildings in NYC. I’ll also delve into what Gwen John has to do with all of this.
