Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is something of an American success
story, if only his success had come swifter. At the age of 40, he
was a failing artist who struggled to sell a single painting. As he
approached 80, Time magazine featured him on its cover. Today, half
a century after his death, Hopper is considered a giant of modern
expression, with an uncanny, unforgettable, and utterly distinct
sense for mood and place. Much of Hopper's work excavates modern
city experience. In canvas after canvas, he depicts diners, cafes,
shopfronts, street lights, gas stations, rail stations, and hotel
rooms. The scenes are marked by vivid color juxtapositions and
stark, theatrical lighting, as well as by harshly contoured
figures, who appear at once part of, and alien to, their
surroundings. The ambiance throughout his repertoire is of an eerie
disquiet, alienation, loneliness and psychological tension,
although his rural or coastal scenes can offer a counterpoint of
tranquility or optimism. This book presents key works from Hopper's
oeuvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history
but also in the American psyche. About the series Born back in
1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art
book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art
series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and
oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical
importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with
explanatory captions
Ein wichtiger Bereich fur das Ziel eines nachhaltig zukunftsfahigen
Wirtschaftens im Bedurfnisfeld "Bauen und Wohnen" ist der bisher in
der Forschung wenig berucksichtigte Bereich der
Altbaumodernisierung. Hierin liegen sehr grosse Potentiale, aber
auch Hemmnisse fur Massnahmen zur Energieeinsparung. Ausserdem
fallen bei Neueinbau und Entsorgung erhebliche Mengen von
Stoffstromen in vielfaltiger Zusammensetzung und zum Teil mit
problematischen Inhaltsstoffen an. Die Studie untersuchte die
komplexen Strukturen, Rahmenbedingungen, Entscheidungsprozesse,
Verflechtungen der beteiligten Akteure und Hemmnisse fur ein
zielfuhrendes Stoffstrommanagement bei der Altbaumodernisierung an
Fallbeispielen sowie mittels zahlreicher Gesprache mit Beteiligten
im Baugeschehen und eines Workshops mit Akteuren aus dem Bereich
des Mietwohnbaus. Daraus wurden Empfehlungen abgeleitet."
