Maybe I am not very human - what I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.quote by: Edward Hopper (1882-1967)
quoted: Sleeve of Everything Must Go (CD1) and Sleeve of Forever Delayed
about the quoted person:American painter, active in New York. He trained under Robert Henri 1900-06, and between 1906 and 1910 made three trips to Europe, though these had little influence on his style. Hopper exhibited at the Armoury Show in 1913, but from then until 1923 he abandoned painting, earning his living by commercial illustration. Thereafter, however, he gained widespread recognition as a central exponent of American Scene painting, expressing the loneliness, vacuity, and stagnation of town life. Yet Hopper always REMAINED an individualist: 'I don't think I ever tried to paint the American scene; I'm trying to paint myself.'
