Edward Hopper - American Master

Ground Swell, 1939, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

“Hopper’s enduring popularity stems from his ability to stage scenes from everyday life in a way which also addresses universal concerns. His contemplative studies of modern life… have a timeless quality, transcending the hour and the place to become profound statements about the human condition. It is this quality which has inspired generations of artists, writers and film makers including David Hockney, Mark Rothko, Alfred Hitchcock, Todd Haynes and Norman Mailer." Tate Modern, 2004
