Author Description

Considered the first important American painter in 20th-century art, Edward Hopper (1882-1967) used color and light to create a mood of transcendent melancholy in images of the streets, houses, and lost souls of pre- and postwar America. This Spanish-language book also shows Hopper's other side - the painter of landscapes in warm brown hues and seascapes that exude a lyrical tranquility.
