Hopper, Edward (1882-1967). American painter.
He painted American landscapes and cityscapes with a disturbing truth, expressing the world around him as a chilling, alienating, and often vacuous place.
Everybody in a Hopper picture appears terribly alone.
Hopper soon gained a widespread reputation as the artist who gave visual form to the loneliness and boredom of life in the big city.
