Great American artists: Edward Hopper

July 2nd, 2014

Since this week is the Fourth of July, we’re celebrating great American artists. Edward Hopper was a quintessential American painter who painted gorgeous landscapes, and a sense of contemporary life with a new style, which many in the art world recognized, and many praised him for this distinct style. He painted a moodier American versus Norman Rockwell’s often idealized version. He used light and shadow very deliberately. His most famous work “Nighthawks” represents this perfectly. We love this quote from him: “Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.” Every painting you create is truly a self-portrait, what’s going inside you, and bringing it to life is so much fun!
