NOTES
Considered by most to be one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century, Edward Hopper's work can be found in almost every major museum, and his familiar urban images permeate pop culture in advertisements and on film. Best known for his oil paintings, the New York artist incorporated elements of both the Ashcan and the Impressionist schools of art to create his own, unique style. His favorite theme-the isolation of the individual within America's rapidly progressing society-appears throughout his work, made all the more poignant by his original, realistic technique. In the American Artist series, you'll read about more masters of the art world who not only depicted American life and landscape through beautiful works but also broadened our perspectives by employing the tools of their trade with the highest levels of creativity and insight. Experience firsthand these artists' vision and influence through the seventy or more spectacular, full-color reproductions of their work. Each title in this series includes color photos throughout, and back matter including: an index and further reading lists for books and internet resources
