However, I could not get through this book. The writing was so dry and at about 800 pages, the book is a bit intimidating. Or maybe I just didn't want to accept that he seemed not to be a pleasant person who had clear issues with women. no reviews | add a review

New York Times Notable Book Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist Wall Street Journal--One of Five Best Artist Biographies Edward Hopper's canvasses are filled with stripped-down spaces and unrelenting light, evocative landscapes, and the lonely aspects of men and women seemingly isolated in their surroundings. What kind of man had this haunting vision, and what kind of life engendered this art? No one is better qualified to answer these questions than art historian Gail Levin, author and curator of the major studies and exhibitions of Hopper's work. In this intimate biography she reveals the true nature and personality of the man himself--and of the woman who shared his life, the artist Josephine Nivison. No library descriptions found. |
