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."

La vie d'Edward Hopper (1882-1967) ressemble un peu a une success story a l'americaine, sauf que son succes s'est fait attendre. A l'age de 40 ans, l'artiste peu connu luttait pour vendre le moindre tableau. A pres de 80 ans, il a fait la couverture du magazine Time. Aujourd'hui, un demi-siecle apres sa mort, Hopper est considere comme un geant de l'expression moderne, au sens de l'espace et de l'atmosphere tout a fait singulier, a la fois inoubliable et troublant. Une grande partie de l'oeuvre d'Hopper met au jour l'experience de la ville moderne. Toile apres toile, il a represente diners, cafes, vitrines, stations service, gares, chambres d'hotel et lumieres de la ville. Ses tableaux sont marques par des juxtapositions de couleurs vives et un eclairage theatral et cru, ainsi que des silhouettes tres marquees qui semblent aussi integrees qu'etrangeres a leur environnement. L'atmosphere qui se degage de cet univers est un melange de trouble etrange, d'alienation, de solitude et de tension psychologique, meme si les scenes rurales ou cotieres de l'artiste peuvent offrir un contrepoint de tranquillite ou d'optimisme. Ce livre presente des oeuvres cles de Hopper pour mettre en valeur un acteur essentiel, non seulement de l'histoire de l'art americain, mais aussi de la psyche americaine. A propos de la collection Chaque volume de la Basic Art Series de TASCHEN contient: une chronologique detaillee de la vie et de l'oeuvre de l'artiste qui rend compte de son importance culturelle et artistique une biographie concise une centaine d'illustrations couleur accompagnees de legendes explicatives
