Hopper’s work is the most recognizable art in
America – popular, praised, and mysterious.
Countless painters, photographers, filmmakers
and musicians have been influenced by his art
– but who was he, and how did a struggling
illustrator create such a bounty of notable work?
This new film takes a deep look into Hopper’s
art, his life, and his relationships.
From his early career as an illustrator; his wife
giving up her own promising art career to be his
manager; his critical and commercial acclaim;
and in his own words – this film explores the
enigmatic personality behind the brush…
Combined with expert interviews, diaries, and
a startling visual reflection of American life,
Hopper brings to life America’s arguably most
influential artist.
Released to coincide with the major Hopper
exhibition (Edward Hopper’s New York) at the
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (Oct
22 – Mar 23).
