Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was the most popular and well-known American artist of the 20th century and, although he was a shy and a quiet man, he left an undeniable mark on the world of art through his iconic sea horizon paintings.
If you’re visiting Rome over the winter months, then you will be delighted to read that an Edward Hopper exhibition that opened in October at Vittoriano – Ala Brasini will be on show until February, 2017. The unique exhibition was created under the guidance of the Institute for the History of the Risorgimento in collaboration with the Department of Cultural Growth, and has been produced and organised by the Arthemisia Group in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
Through a number of iconic pieces, the exhibition beautifully recounts the entire working history of Edward Hopper. From Parisian watercolors to landscapes from the 1950s and 1960s, the exhibition, curated by Barbara Haskell in collaboration with Luca Beatrice, displays more than 60 works, including famous masterpieces, such as South Carolina Morning (1955), Second Story Sunlight (1960), New York Interior (1921), Le Bistrot or the Wine Shop (1909) and Summer Interior (1909).
