Whoever decided to age-restrict this video is a nut.
Edward Hopper is a well known American painter born in New York, in 1882. His urban and rural scenes of middle-class solitude and introspection reflect his personal vision of modern American life of the 1960’s. Hopper is recognized as a central part of the American Scene painting, expressing the loneliness, vacuity, and stagnation of town life. His haunting realist canvases evoke an enigmatic emptiness and simplicity that has become the artist’s trademark. He created some 2,500 works before he died in 1967.
Hopper is one of the most original and important American Realist painters of the 20th century, but he cringed at such categorizations. “I never tried to do the American scene,” he said. “I think American scene painters caricatured America. I always wanted to do myself.” He was a flinty individualist who was anti-FDR and anti-New Deal. He lived frugally with his wife in the same New York City fourth-floor walk-up that didn’t have central heat until the 1960s. For many years they lugged coal up on a dumbwaiter for their potbelly stove and even shared a communal bathroom. He loved theater and film, and was well read. Hopper was a very private and shy person given to depressions. He spoke very little and, not surprisingly, most of the people and places in his paintings are silent. He captured the quiet brooding of off-hours Greenwich Village, where he lived, creating the iconic masterpieces for which he is noted.

Bonjour et merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo ! La musique n'est pas absolument nécessaire (et je mets en pause pour regarder les tableaux :-)) Merci !!
Hello and thank you very much for this video! The music is not absolutely necessary (and I pause to look at the paintings :-)) Thank you !!
Hola y muchas gracias por este video! La música no es absolutamente necesaria (y me detengo a mirar las pinturas :-)) Gracias!
Too literary for my tastes. He should have been a photographer. He makes America look a very lonely place!
Thanks, I have collected collections of his work for decades and you actually have at least three pieces that I could never find after seeing them once. I began to believe I had imagined them or making me wonder if they might have been from someone else. Thank you for confirming they actually existed.
Very appreciated video! I like Hopper very much, thank you! 🙂
Wonderful! Fantastic paintings and music! Very good! Thank you!
I watch this almost daily. Along with the Edward Hopper's wonderful art, Carl Davis's music an an accompaniment is just s-o-o-o right. Thank-you for this amazing post!
meraviglioso accostamento di musica e dipinti….bellissimo
what is the music of this video?
Thank you, and thank you.
Thank you so much!!!!
Good mixing of painting and music, thank you. From a strict personal point of view I find sometimes the light to be too intense but I guess that is part of sending the viewer to a deep world of isolation. Reminds me certain pieces of Bela Bartok, actually. Again, thank you for posting such a good contribution.
The wilderness and the magical light that creates captivate the viewer and even more with your own contribution!
U I always wanted to do myself."
