About Edward Hopper
1882-1967
Edward Hopper was the great master of tranquillity and light whose paintings founded a completely new style: American Realism. Instead of the hectic bustle of people, he preferred to paint light-flooded pictures of the American East Coast.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, bourgeois, and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
