Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNEdward Hopper (1882-1967) representa una historia de triunfo típicamente americana, si bien el éxito podría haberle sonreído antes. A los 40 años de edad, era un artista fracasado que no había conseguido vender ni un solo cuadro, hasta que, a punto de cumplir los 80, la revista Time lo sacó en portada. En la actualidad, transcurrido medio siglo desde su muerte, Hopper se considera un gigante de la expresión moderna, con un talento asombroso, inolvidable y absolutamente personal para captar ambientes y lugares.
Gran parte de la obra de Hopper indaga en la experiencia de la ciudad moderna. Lienzo tras lienzo, retrata restaurantes, cafeterías, escaparates, farolas, gasolineras, estaciones de tren y habitaciones de hotel. Sus escenas se caracterizan por yuxtaposiciones de colores vivos y por una iluminación cruda y teatral; así como por figuras contorneadas con aspereza, que parecen integrarse en el entorno y, al mismo tiempo, ser ajenas a este. La ambientación en todo su repertorio urbano transmite desasosiego, alienación, soledad y tensión psicológica, mientras que sus escenas del entorno rural y litoral ofrecen un contrapunto de tranquilidad y optimismo.
Este libro recoge las obras clave de Hopper con el fin de presentar a un artista clave no solo en la historia del arte estadounidense, sino en la psique de todo un país.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is something of an American success story, if only his success had come swifter. At the age of 40, he was a failing artist who struggled to sell a single painting. As he approached 80, Time magazine featured him on its cover. Today, Hopper is considered a giant of modern expression, with an uncanny, unforgettable, and utterly distinct sense for mood and place.Much of Hopper's work excavates modern city experience. In canvas after canvas, he depicts diners, cafes, shopfronts, street lights, gas stations, rail stations, and hotel rooms. The scenes are marked by vivid color juxtapositions and stark, theatrical lighting, as well as by harshly contoured figures, who appear at once part of, and alien to, their surroundings. The ambiance throughout his repertoire is of an eerie disquiet, alienation, loneliness and psychological tension, although his rural or coastal scenes can offer a counterpoint of tranquility or optimism.This book presents major works from Hopper's oeuvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche. Struggling artist turned icon of the modern, urban experience, Edward Hopper is most famed for his haunting nocturnal diner scene Nighthawks. This book introduces his mastery of place, mood, and melancholy through vivid color juxtapositions; stark, theatrical lighting; as well as harshly contoured figures, at once part of, and alien to, their surroundings.
