After spending a year in Paris at a young age, Hopper returned to the United States and soon developed his unique style. He never changed it the rest of his life.
Hopper's subject was everyday America. He captured in old houses, movie theaters, bars, and rural landscapes scenes that conceal memory, hope, adventure, poetry, and the intangible American spirit.
Hopper's life was quiet, disciplined and orderly, much like his paintings. For more than 50 years he painted in his New York studio on the top floor of 3 Washington Square North and he never let fame and celebrity go to his head. |
