"Little Boy Looking at the Sea," Edward Hopper, 1891.

Y'all know Hopper. But this is remarkable as this is very, very early Hopper. Early as in he was nine years old when he drew this, on the back of one of his report cards.

Born in Nyack, NY, a yacht-building town at the time, Hopper grew up on the water, with the Hudson clearly visible from his bedroom window. It's impossible to know if this was meant to depict himself, or someone he knew, or was drawn from the imagination, but here it is.

He showed artistic talent at an early age, and his parents encouraged it, keeping him stocked with supplies. Reportedly he'd wander the riverbanks with a sketchpad, drawing anything that caught his fancy.

What's remarkable is the air of isolation, and the small figure is so pensive and focused. This prefigures the themes of many of his grown-up works.

From a private collection.

Moonlight Etchings of the Forgotten Artist who Taught Edward Hopper

"Martin Lewis died in obscurity in 1962; a retired art teacher who had found some success in his early career, but was largely forgotten after the Great Depression took away the demand for his craft, leaving Lewis to spend his last three decades teaching other people how to etch. History chose Edward Hopper, but Martin Lewis was his mentor."

Heize's Happen MV is inspired by Edward Hopper's paintings circa 1943 - 1961. A gorgeous song and a beautiful MV. She's so cool.

The most obvious reference is of course to his famous work Nighthawks, which happens at 1:29.

There's a great side by side and a list of the other works referenced on Reddit @ reddit.com/r/kpoppers/comments

"Ground Swell," Edward Hopper, 1939.

We all know Hopper. Although we know him as a painter of urban scenes, Hopper was a sailing enthusiast.

This is another great summertime painting, but it has undercurrents of menace and isolation. While we have a group of young folks on the boat, nobody is looking at or interacting with each other. The buoy indicates some sort of danger that they need to be aware of. And it looks like storm clouds are lurking on the horizon.

Although there are many interpretations of this painting, it must be noted that Hopper finished it just as WWII was breaking out in Europe...so there's no doubt in my mind as to what the buoy is warning of, or what those clouds in the distance represent.

"Summertime," Edward Hopper, 1943.

Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was THE great American Realist, and his depictions of the isolated individuals of modern urban life are iconic and familiar.

Here we have a woman stepping out into the street on a bright summer day. Her neutral expression gives a sense of waiting...but I noticed, looking close, her dress is quite sheer and doesn't leave a lot to the imagination. Is Hopper hinting at something here? Could she, despite a seeming propriety, be a prostitute?

Hopper left many unanswered questions in his canvases, and this is no exception.

From the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington. (I plan to go there soon!)
