Eleven AM - Ed Hopper - Posters
100 Rs
Edward Hopper is widely acknowledged as the most important realist painter of twentieth-century America. Hopper derived his subject matter from two primary sources: one, the common features of American life (gas stations, motels, restaurants, theatres, railroads, and street scenes) and its inhabitants; and two, seascapes and rural landscapes.
No one captured the isolation of the individual within the modern city like Edward Hopper. His imagery of figures within urban settings go well beyond their role as modern cityscapes, exposing the underbelly of the human experience. His work demonstrates that realism is not merely a literal or photographic copying of what we see, but an interpretive rendering.

About Eleven AM Ed Hopper
Edward Hopper defined 20th-century realism with austere, eerie scenes that convey the isolation of modern life. He infused his paintings of spare architecture, desolate interiors, coastal views, and cityscapes with an appreciation of light and shade that contributes to a significant sense of alienation. In Hopper’s most famous painting, Nighthawks (1942), three customers sit at the counter of a well-lit diner while the streets outside remain dark and empty. After the artist received his first solo exhibition in 1920 at the recently opened Whitney Studio Club (a precursor to the Whitney Museum of American Art), he gained commercial and curatorial renown. In 1952, Hopper represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. His work has been acquired by such institutions as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art; on the secondary market, Hopper’s paintings have sold for multimillion-dollar prices.About the Posters
