Drawing inspiration from the mundane, Edward Hopper used his unique style to create hauntingly evocative scenes of everyday life, portraying the starkness of Main Street and exploring the visual vocabulary of light. Whether he set his scenes in offices, restaurants, hotels, gas stations, train compartments, or theaters, his favorite theme--the isolation of the individual--is always prominent. Many of Hopper's most brilliant works--from urban scenes to rural landscapes and from etchings to oil paintings--are represented here in a stunning portfolio of 70 full-color illustrations.
