    La solitude poétique de l’homme confrontée à « l’American way of life » chez Hopper

    December 2, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Avec ses toiles aux couleurs froides, peuplées de personnages anonymes, l’œuvre d’Hopper symbolise aussi le reflet de la Grande Dépression. A travers des reproductions variées (gravures, aquarelles, huiles sur toile), l’auteur, par une analyse tant artistique que thématique, nous apporte un éclairage nouveau sur l’univers énigmatique et torturé de ce peintre majeur...

    Die poetische Einsamkeit des Menschen gegenüber dem “American Way of Life” bei Hopper

    December 1, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Seine Bilder sind in kalten Farben gehalten und von anonymen Charakteren bevölkert und spiegeln auf diese Weise symbolisch die Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise wider. Der Autor wirft auf der Basis einer Reihe unterschiedlicher Reproduktionen (Stiche, Aquarelle und Ölgemälde) und mit Hilfe thematischer und künstlerischer Analysen ein neues Licht auf die rätselhafte und gequälte Welt dieses wichtigen Malers..

    The poetic solitude of man confronted to the “American way of life” in Hopper

    November 29, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Created using cold colours and inhabited by anonymous characters, Hopper’s paintings also symbolically reflect the Great Depression. Through a series of different reproductions (etchings, watercolours, and oil-on-canvas paintings), as well as thematic and artistic analysis, the author sheds new light on the enigmatic and tortured world of this outstanding figure...

    Instantanés de l’Amérique.

    December 2, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Pour lutter contre les effets de la grande dépression des années 30, le gouvernement Roosevelt a mis en place le New Deal. Ce projet avait pour but de protéger et d’encourager au mieux les couches les plus pauvres de la population. Bien entendu, les artistes et les arts-visuels ont également fait l’objet d’un projet de stimulation économique avec le Federal Arts Projects développé par l’agence Work Projects Administration. Le F.A.P est à l’origine de plus de 100.000 œuvres, peintures, fresques, dessins ou encore affiches, réalisées par plus de 100 artistes entre 1935 et 1943 et constitue pratiquement la seule production artistique de cette période. Ce contexte de crise, mais aussi…

    No Room in Hollywood

    October 22, 2013 / 0 Comments

    There is no doubt that Hollywood dominates the global film industry. Occasionally, popular films from other countries gain international notoriety like the French film Amélie or the Swedish film Let the Right One In, but those are rare instances. While the United States dominates the film industry, the rest of the world, mainly Europe, dominates in art. The U.S. does have renowned artists but not as renowned as Europe.  Even as an American, I find it difficult to name fellow artistic countrymen, but I can easily rattle off several European artists. Edward Hopper, painter of the Nighthawks, is a celebrated American painter, but his international repute is an iota of…

    Vampires: dark and evil or sparkly and romantic?

    May 14, 2013 / 0 Comments

    When thinking of dark romanticism, I am plagued with thoughts of dark, sultry mystery. Especially encompassing the supernatural, dark romanticism is essentially the humanising of all things evil and hellish. This includes vampires, werewolves, ghouls, devils, the whole gamut. Having just come off of a most epic two month Buffy-binge, I get it. But authors like Stephanie Meyer, have taken what was once the essence of evil and torture and literally turned them into shiny, happy beings.

    La mirada de Hopper

    July 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Si hablo de Edward Hopper, es muy probable que el primer cuadro que te venga a la cabeza sea Nighthawks (Noctámbulos), esos tres clientes sentados en la barra de un diner atendidos por un camarero de blanco inmaculado y vistos desde una calle completamente desierta que ha dado lugar a incontables imitaciones y evocaciones. Pues bien, precisamente ese cuadro no podrás verlo en la exposición temporal organizada por el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza y la Réunion des musées nationaux de Francia, pero quizá con más razón deberías acercarte a disfrutar de las otras 73 obras del artista que sí han logrado reunir en «Hopper», a secas. Y es que no hace falta…

    Hopper: drudgery and dysthymia

    July 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Edward Hopper is being celebrated with an exhibition dedicated to his life and works in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, amassing an impressive 73 out of his 366 canvases. He would have hated this. Bitter as he was about the late recognition of his art, he avoided his own exhibitions, using them as a platform to get his paintings sold, in order to carry on living his simple and reclusive lifestyle. Hopper has to be the least fitting name for an artist as misanthropic as he. He was an introvert with a wry sense of humour, who would fall into great periods of melancholy, pierced on occasion by flashes of…
