The "Edward Hopper" exhibition includes 90 paintings, prints and watercolors from Hopper's entire career. The exhibit will mainly focus on the period of his greatest achievements from 1925 to 1950. It begins with a small group of paintings and prints from the '10s and early '20s, which introduce his signature subjects and reveal his artistic beginnings. The core of the exhibition is dedicated to the highly original images for which he is famous: majestic Maine lighthouses, Manhattan apartments, restaurants and theaters, and 19th-century houses of Gloucester and Cape Cod.
Hopper's career spanned six decades, and in his epic late paintings during the ascendancy of Abstract Expressionism, he remained a staunch Realist. He excelled across many mediums, including oil, watercolor and prints. This exhibition presents his greatest work in all three categories.
