Edward Hopper and the Blank Canvas / 20127.02 voti

The many references in contemporary film to Edward Hopper's works, as well as the widespread reproduction of some of his paintings have made his universe familiar to many. His unclassifiable figurations weave a dialogue between appearances and light, between the unmistakeable and enigma. Focusing on the artist's personal life in the context of 20th century America, "Edward Hopper and the Blank Canvas" bears witness to a fiercely independent painter, who was aware of the issues of his era, and who was hostile to the imprisonment that a modern American art opposing realism and abstraction could lead him to. This film brings the artist to life, transposing his realist and metaphysical poetry. It is a subtile and passionate work, which at last unveils one of the most important painters of American modernity.

Hopper - Una storia d'amore americana / 2022

Quella di Hopper è un’America popolare, silenziosa e misteriosa, capace di influenzare pittori come Rothko e Banksy, cineasti come Alfred Hitchcock e David Lynch, ma anche fotografi e musicisti. Ma chi era davvero questo artista riflessivo e maestro della narrazione chiamato Edward Hopper? E come ha fatto un illustratore in difficoltà nato nello stato di New York a creare una tale quantità di capolavori in grado di parlare alle persone comuni così come agli esperti e capace di raccontare il tema del silenzio, dell’attesa e della solitudine? Il documentario diretto da Phil Grabsky analizza a fondo l’arte di Hopper (1882-1967), la sua vita e le sue relazioni personali, dagli esordi al rapporto con la moglie Jo, che abbandonò la sua promettente carriera artistica per fargli da manager.
