This groundbreaking graphic novel delves into the life of the
acclaimed artist Edward Hooper, whose iconic works depict
quintessentially American scenes and experiences. While many of
Hopper's most acclaimed works have been embraced by American
culture, the artist himself rejected much of the lyricism and
romance that his audience imposed on his paintings. This unique
overview of Hopper's life and career offers a fascinating and
unflinching portrait of an artist trying to establish himself and
define his own style. Using Hopper's own words as a jumping off
point, the book traces his roots as an art student and commercial
illustrator; his life-changing time in Europe; his rocky
relationship with his wife Jo, and his incredible success later in
life. It also shows how, as he became increasingly famous, he grew
more taciturn and resolute in his disparagement of American society
and the labels thrust on him. Using clean lines and a palette that
mimics Hopper's own, the book's illustrations reflect the style and
substance of the artist's life--and help create a refreshing
reconsideration of a creative genius who never wavered from his
vision.
