Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) is one of my favorite artists. His paintings are quiet, calm, luminous, still moments. Each painting leads the viewer to wonder, "What are they talking about? What is she thinking?"
A realist painter, Hopper depicted images of modern life. At forty-one, Hopper gained recognition for his work and his painting House By The Railroad(1925) was the first oil painting acquired by the Museum of Modern Art. His work is part of many permanent collections - view a selection of his works at the Whitney Museum.
