Not Art Historians

Edward Hopper: The Painter of Solitude


Listen Later

Join Zak and Lianne as they step into the serene yet mysterious world of Edward Hopper, the master of American realism. We’ll explore his lifelong partnership with fellow artist Josephine “Jo” Hopper, the tensions and inspirations behind their creative endeavors, and the secret stories hidden in his iconic paintings like “Nighthawks” and “Soir Bleu.” Dive into the silent dramas, the play of light and shadow, and discover why Hopper’s art continues to captivate us, even today. We’ll then discuss how a French artist has been living in a giant bottle floating on a Parisian canal, the most recent of his art pieces using confined spaces.
