Page "Edward Hopper" Paragraph 25

Though Hopper claimed that he didn ’ t consciously embed psychological meaning in his paintings, he was deeply interested in Freud and the power of the subconscious mind.

He wrote in 1939, “ So much of every art is an expression of the subconscious that it seems to me most of all the important qualities are put there unconsciously, and little of importance by the conscious intellect .”
