Art: Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper was born in Nyack, New York on July 22nd of 1882. Trained as an illustrater, Hopper later became a member of the Ashcan School (of famed John Sloan, Arthur B. Davies, and Maurice Prendergast), and continued to cultivate his own particular style.

Starting in the mid 20's, Hopper's style became more concrete, his paintings stern and geometric, and his subjects isolated and anonymous. A master of light and space, Hopper is celebrated as one of America's most exceptional artists.
