Edward Hopper lived in New York from 1908-1967 – almost sixty years of his life. As the city grew before his eyes into the vast metropolis it has become, his work remained personal, introspective, unpopulated, and existentially alone in feeling. The Whitney had a show about Edward Hopper’s New York<\/a> with an interesting article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopper’s compositions tended to be as much from imagination as from actual references. He would go on site to sketch meticulaous preparatory drawings, often with detailed notes about color so that he wouldn’t have to paint it on sight, as if to understand the architecture of the piece inside out, and then he brought the sketches home to complete the painting in the studio. Some paintings realized the sketches specifically, while others, he seemed to combine them however he chose, often with elements from his imagination, or memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
