About this product

Product Information

This monograph illuminates the life and work of one of America's most celebrated yet enigmatic artists. Through a close study of the themes, emotions and imagery that preoccupied Hopper (1882 - 1967) throughout his life, Walter Wells presents many new insights, especially into the haunting silence and loneliness at the heart of the artist's vision. In particular, Silent Theater explores the psychological tensions underlying the world of Hopper and his wife, Josephine Nivison. Using literature and other sources, the author reveals how Hopper created complex pictorial dramas about the human condition. The book's expansive design allows the superb reproductions of Hopper's paintings, watercolours and etchings--including his most memorable images that have indeed become American icons-- to register with an impact that matches the eloquence of its text.

Reviews
'Hopper's paintings have become modern icons ... [Wells] has chosen an approach that is more musing than instructing, and in doing so he opens up our personal responses to Hopper's work. ... in these pages, as he defines and the refines his interpretations, I think Wells may have stumbled on why we keep coming back to these paintings. ... Hopper's implicit storylines, his narratives which engender tense, suspended silences, are what make his images so compelling. And so they stay with us.' Daily Telegraph
