Edward Hopper

by Gerry Souter

Overview

Edward Hopper exprime avec poésie la solitude de l’homme face à cet american way of life qui se développe dans les années 1920. S’inspirant du cinéma par les prises de vue ou les attitudes des personnages, ses peintures reflètent et dénoncent l’aliénation de la culture de masse. Avec ses toiles aux couleurs froides, peuplées de personnages anonymes, l’œuvre d’Hopper symbolise aussi le reflet de la Grande Dépression. A travers des reproductions variées (gravures, aquarelles, huiles sur toile), l’auteur, par une analyse tant artistique que thématique, nous apporte un éclairage nouveau sur l’univers énigmatique et torturé de ce peintre majeur.
