Synopsis

Edward Hopper's canvasses are filled with stripped-down spaces and unrelenting light, evocative landscapes, and the lonely aspects of men and women seemingly isolated in their surroundings. What kind of life engendered this art? In this intimate biography, author and curator of major studies and exhibitions of Hopper, Gail Levin, reveals the nature and personality of the man himself - and of the woman who shared his life, the artist Josephine Nivison.

Media Reviews
This biography is a masterpiece of its genre, magnificently well researched, scrupulous, exact, balanced, objective, and providing cumulatively a real sense of daily life with Hopper and his wife, in the context of the social, political, and artistic events of their time. --Bryan Robertson, Modern Painters
