In this week’s session we do something a little different in focusing on the work of Edward Hopper. We hear Hopper talking about his work in a recording and talk about his background, style and our reaction to the work.

I really enjoyed the discussion and critique of today’s session. I have a coffee table book of Edward Hopper’s work,
I’d really enjoy another session of another famous artist discussed. Maybe someone not as well known, so that I can learn about another artist.
Thanks

Thank you for recording this session. I had to miss it when it was actually broadcast because of scheduling problems. Spare, lonely, work, not exactly realistic, and with a stilted approach to figure painting. His work is very odd, which I think is what intrigues people.
I so enjoyed the Hopper session which I watched at a later time. I think his work is a precursor to later modern work which departed even more from realism. The figures almost look like they were cutouts placed in the painting. I think that is an aspect that gives to me a modern feel, like some mixed media collage work. Yes, I totally agree that if one hasn’t seen New England one would think Hopper invented all of that himself. Will look forward to the next installment of this focus on a known artist. Very thought provoking and enjoyable! Thank you Jason for it.
Missed the live session, so glad I caught up the recorded one.
Thank you Jason, this was such a great review. Hopefully more similar one in the future. I do not paint anything like Hopper, but I like and more importantly appreciate his art very much. In my opinion he’s never been a true realistic.
Also his stiffness in his paintings doesn’t bother me the way his look (most likely his whole personality) in real life does. If I met him in person probably I’d go mess up his hair, his tie anything.. to free him a bit, to loosen up his appearance all together 😊
