After an interesting introductory essay by art historian Heinz Liesbrock, featuring details about Hopper and his work I knew but a lot of things I didn't know, there is very little in the way of text throughout the rest of the book. The 40 reproduced oil canvas paintings - the 40 masterworks - are only accompanied by their titles, dimensions, and current location - unsurprisingly most being held at various locations in America, with quite a few at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. This at the time the book was in print anyway.

Featuring the likes of Soir Bleu, House by the Railroad, Automat - my personal favourite, Gas, Nighthawks, Eleven A.M., New York Movie, Western Motel, Drug Store, Night Windows and Room in Brooklyn, there really isn't anything else I can add other than that I could spend hours gazing at these.

Sometimes I'm led by other books and other forms of media to do research on things I know nothing about. The painter, Edward Hopper, has come up a lot in the last few months. This is a brief collection of his work, mainly consisting of landscapes and life portraits.

This was a very nice short book that sparked my interest even more.
The text itself is rather limited but it serves as a great intro to the works of Hopper
