Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography
Gail Levin
Edward Hopper's canvasses are filled with stripped-down spaces and unrelenting light, evocative landscapes, and the lonely aspects of men and women seemingly isolated in their surroundings. What kind of man had this haunting vision, and what kind of life engendered this art? In this intimate biography, art historian Gail Levin reveals the true nature and personality of the man himself—and of the woman who shared his life, the artist Josephine Nivison.
