Shelleys Kunstgedanken – Edward Hoppers Nachtschwärmer im Blickpunkt
Edward Hopper wurde 1882 in New York geboren. Er wuchs in einem komfortablen Familienumfeld auf und war ein guter Schüler, der bereits im Alter von 5 Jahren erste Anzeichen eines Künstlers zeigte. Seine Eltern förderten ihn und sorgten dafür, dass er mit Material versorgt wurde, um seine Fähigkeiten zu verbessern. Im Jahr 1899 begann er ein Fernstudium der Kunst und wechselte bald darauf an die New Yorker Schule für Kunst und Design. Er studierte dort 6 Jahre lang Ölmalerei, ließ sich von Manet und Degas inspirieren, fand es aber schockierend, nach lebenden Modellen zu zeichnen.

Goya (English version)
Goya is perhaps the most approachable of painters. His art, like his life, is an open book. He concealed nothing from his contemporaries, and offered his art to them with the same frankness. He proved that if a man has the capacity to live and multiply his experiences, to fight and work, he can produce great art without classical decorum and traditional respectability.
