(*) The American painter Edward Hopper was one of the principal representatives of 20th-century realism. Although for much of his life his pictorial work did not receive attention from critics or the public and he was forced to work as an illustrator to subsist, today his works have become icons of modern life and society. He studied at the New York School of Art with William Merritt Chase and Robert Henri. He made several trips to Europe, and from an early age he showed interest in European culture and art, especially the work of Edgar Degas and Édouard Manet. From 1910 he resided permanently in New York, in his Washington Square residence, which he only left during summer stays in New England, from 1930 always in Cape Cod, where he built a house. In 1924 he married Jo Nivison, who not only posed for him on numerous occasions but also maintained throughout her life a detailed record of his work. His artistic output is relatively small, since he was a painter of slow, deliberate execution. At first he was linked with the so-called American Scene, a heterogeneous group of artists who shared a common interest in American themes, but Hopper soon developed his own pictorial style. His taciturn character and austere forms had a strong influence on his work, which as a whole is characterized by a simplified representation of reality and by a perfect capture of the solitude of the modern man. Through his painting we approach the America of the Great Depression, which for him symbolized the crisis of modern life. The cinematic treatment of scenes and the personal use of light are the main differentiating elements of his painting. Although he painted some landscapes and outdoor scenes, most of his pictorial subjects depict public places such as bars, motels, hotels, stations, trains, all of them almost empty to underscore the loneliness of the portrayed character. On the other hand, Hopper heightens the dramatic effect through strong contrasts of light and shadow. Around 1930, as a result of isolationism, his fame increased considerably, although his critical fortune began to grow truly after his death, in 1967, when he began to be recognized as one of the great masters of 20th-century art and not only as an example of American realist painting.
