" He advised his students, among them Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent, to live with the common man and paint the common man, in total opposition to Cecilia Beaux ’ s artistic methods and subjects.

Hopper ’ s parents encouraged his art and kept him amply supplied with materials, instructional magazines, and illustrated books.

Hopper ’ s parents insisted that he study commercial art to have a reliable means of income.

He also advised his students, “ It isn ’ t the subject that counts but what you feel about it ” and “ Forget about art and paint pictures of what interests you in life .” In this manner, Henri influenced Hopper, as well as notable future artists George Bellows and Rockwell Kent.

It comes slowly .” His fellow illustrator Walter Tittle described Hopper ’ s depressed emotional state in sharper terms, seeing his friend “ suffering … from long periods of unconquerable inertia, sitting for days at a time before his easel in helpless unhappiness, unable to raise a hand to break the spell .” In 1912, Hopper traveled to Gloucester, Massachusetts, to seek some inspiration and did his first outdoor paintings in America.

Shortly after his father ’ s death that same year, Hopper moved to the Washington Square apartment in the Greenwich Village section of New York City where he would live for the rest of his life.

Hopper ’ s Room in New York ( 1932 ) and Cape Cod Evening ( 1939 ) are prime examples of his “ couple ” paintings.

The inspiration for the picture may have come from Ernest Hemingway ’ s short story The Killers, which Hopper greatly admired, or from the more philosophical A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.

After his student years, Hopper ’ s nudes were all female.

Hopper ’ s wife, as usual, posed for him for the painting, and noted in her diary, “ Ed beginning a new canvas — a burlesque queen doing a strip tease — and I posing without a stitch on in front of the stove —- nothing but high heels in a lottery dance pose .”

Hopper did produce a commissioned “ portrait ” of a house, The MacArthurs ’ Home ( 1939 ), where he faithfully details the Victorian architecture of the home of actress Helen Hayes.

Though very interested in the American Civil War and Mathew Brady ’ s battlefield photographs, Hopper made only two historical pictures.

The best example of an action painting is Bridle Path ( 1939 ), but Hopper ’ s struggle with the proper anatomy of the horses may have discouraged him from similar attempts.

Hopper ’ s final oil painting, Two Comedians ( 1966 ), painted one year before his death, focuses on his love of the theater.

Today the house is the Edward Hopper House Art Center.

Always reluctant to discuss himself and his art, Hopper simply summed up his art by stating, “ The whole answer is there on the canvas .” Hopper was stoic and fatalistic — a quiet introverted man with a gentle sense of humor and a frank manner.

Although he is best known for his oil paintings, Hopper initially achieved recognition for his watercolours and he also produced some commercially successful etchings.

Though critics and viewers interpret meaning and mood in these cityscapes, Hopper insisted “ I was more interested in the sunlight on the buildings and on the figures than any symbolism .” As if to prove the point, his late painting Sun in an Empty Room ( 1963 ) is a pure study of sunlight.

Jo Hopper noted in their log book, “ he open book is Plato, reread too late ”.
