Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is one of the most celebrated American artists of the 20th century. His paintings are known for their realism, their evocative use of light and shadow, and their ability to capture the loneliness and alienation of modern life.

Hopper's paintings are often set in everyday locations, such as diners, gas stations, and movie theaters. He was fascinated by the way light and shadow could transform these ordinary spaces into places of mystery and intrigue. In his painting "Nighthawks" (1942),for example, the bright lights of a diner cast an eerie glow on the faces of four people sitting at the counter. The shadows seem to isolate them from one another, creating a sense of loneliness and alienation.

Hopper's use of light and shadow is also evident in his paintings of landscapes. In his painting "Early Sunday Morning" (1930),the sunlight casts a long shadow across the empty street. The buildings appear to be asleep, and the only sign of life is a single figure walking in the distance. The painting conveys a sense of stillness and peace, but it also hints at the loneliness and isolation that can be found in even the most mundane of settings.

Edward Hopper: Light and Dark is a stunning collection of the artist's most iconic works. This book showcases Hopper's masterful use of light and shadow to capture the essence of American life. With over 100 full-color reproductions, this book is a must-have for any fan of Hopper's art.
