Watch this beautiful video created by Walker Art Center presenting Edward Hopper who discusses the slow development of his iconic images.
The video was created as a part of the exhibition Hopper Drawing: A Painter’s Process at the Walker Art Center in 2014.
More than anything else, Hopper’s drawings reveal the continually evolving relationship between observation and invention in the artist’s work, and his abiding interest in the spaces and motifs—the street, the movie theater, the office, the bedroom, the road—that he would return to throughout his career as an artist.
