Observations on life as a landscape painter in the 21st century. Saturday, October 8, 2011. Edward Hopper's Poetry of Empty Rooms. I've just been invited by Rachael Solomon who is the Program Director of the Edward Hopper House Art Center in Nyack, NY. Above is one of his last oil paintings, Sun in an Empty Room. From 1963. It's the emptiest of all the rooms he ever painted. Yet it draws you in and holds your attention as well as any richly appointed interior. How did he do this? I used to have a teacher...

Philip Koch Paintings: Edward Hopper, French Impressionist?
http://philipkochpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/07/edward-hopper-french-impressionist.html
Observations on life as a landscape painter in the 21st century. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Edward Hopper, French Impressionist? Here's Edward Hopper's Pennsylvania Coal Town. From the Butler Institute of American Art. I love the contrast of the deeply saturated yellow ocher house against the bright whites of the figure's sleeve. And the shadowy. Window curtains draw you in with a sense of mystery. One can't understand Hopper without giving his Impressionist-inspired love of light and color its due. What...
