The Influence Of Hopper's Art

Through the years art has been regarded as a form of communication, emotion, a feeling or expression of ideas, by which we mean a person or convey something. This idea can be captured in a painting, sculpture or even through writing, which through their expressions disclose the most characteristic form of a culture. By century to century there has been many creative persons like writer, artist, composer who contributed to development in the all creative fields. We also had so many great visual artists who create greatest arts, music and books. Pablo Picasso is one of them, who took modern art at new level. He was one of well-known artist in history .In fact, his vision and distinct creative style, some of the most innovative pieces he introduced to the art world.

He was a great artist whose work became popular in the 1970’s while being showcased on the sitcom called Good Times. Many of his art pieces were introduced throughout many of the episodes. He could capture with his paint and canvasses, the emotions and issues that were present at the time. Because of this exposure, The Sugar Shack became one of the most popular pieces of all his art work. This Artwork transcends race, culture and time as it took a 20th century approach to mannerism.

Picasso is an abstract artist, and therefore is thought of as “unskilled,” by the way he accentuates parts of the human figure. Picasso’s art had the most impact on the twentieth century. Even though he suggests going against what he had learned academically, it is important to know that he had started at a very young age. His father was a drawing teacher and a conservator at a small museum. Soon after his father became a professor at the art academy in Barcelona, the young Picasso completed the entrance examinations and was accepted to the school’s upper-level program. Picasso went to Paris determined to work through the avant-gardes’ techniques and subjects to better understand such art.

The painting, House by the Railroad, by Edward Hopper was completed in 1925. The house he painted was in the style of a Victorian house. The house was built next to railroad tracks. He painted House by the Railroad with oil based paint on a canvas. The artwork is a twenty-four by twenty-nine inches in a frame. When I look at this painting, the first thing I think of is where is it located? It looks like it is in the middle of nowhere but then again it looks like it is in a town because of the railroad tracks. The house is built next to the railroad tracks but there are no trees. The house contains several windows which I think would be neat. In this painting, he uses vertical and horizontal lines. He used vertical lines for the columns of the house and parts of the house. He also uses horizontal lines for parts of the house and the railroad tracks. Many of the lines Edward Hopper painted were medium size. The painting is painted with several figures lined up. If you look at the front of the house, you can tell that it is square on top of another square. The one on the bottom left is also a square but it is bigger. The picture and the lines are very soft. The lines in the picture never seem to overlap each other. The way the sun is in the picture makes it look absolutely beautiful. The sun could be either rising or setting by the look of the artwork. House by the Railroad was painted in the United States. Edward Hopper painted this picture after he came back

According to one of Jo Hopper’s journals of her husband’s works, the Nighthawks painting, which was originally going to be titled “Night Hawks” was completed on January 21, 1942. This painting is most notably one of Hopper’s most famous works.. Hopper is most known as a painter who had a way of portraying emotional themes of loneliness, regret, solitude, mystery, and boredom. By analyzing Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, I will also argue that the emotional theme and setting of the painting is influenced by the events of World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. The sense of emotion evoked by Hopper’s painting is a feeling of loneliness and isolation.

Many of Edward Hopper's painting's capture the feeling hopelessness and loneliness. That is certainly a reflection of the culture in America at the time of The Great Depression, and the date-stamp of Hotel Room (1931). The painting brings forth a feeling of sadness when you first lay eyes on the woman. But it is not the woman alone that conjures these feelings. Hopper's dramatic lack of color and light create the mood and emotion within many of his painting; a style which comes through in Hotel Room. Coming off an era of some great impressionist, like Renoir or Monet, Hopper's works are a direct contrast in style, technique, color and emotion. One can analyze that through his use of colors, light and his depiction of the motionless woman, that this painting does not represent a happy moment in that time. The woman is simply another object in the room he used to play off his color palette, to convey a message to the viewer. By understanding what we are looking at, we can decipher how colors, when used in the manor which they were meant to be perceived, can evoke feelings sadness and depression.

On of the greatest artist in the entire existence of man, in my opinion, in Pablo Picasso. His work is recognized throughout the world, where these works are on display in some of the most visited museums in the world, where millions of people visit annually. The works are of art so sought out, that people spend millions of their money to get them for themselves. Picasso lived for almost 100 years, and in that time created tens of thousands of different works of art. He and Georges Braque are the creators of cubism, which was a completely different type of art for its time.

Almost every person who knows anything about the art world has heard of the artist named Andy Warhol. A prominent figure in his field during his time, he had a large influence on the public, as well as other artists of that day. He inspired many and brought a new flair to art that made people happy during a time of innovation and change, some good some bad. He is still widely known and recognized today by older and younger generations, who all agree that his art is and always will be timeless. Artists that came after him look at him with admiration, and use his influences and creativity to create and discover new ways to make magnificent art.

Jackson Pollock was an abstract expressionist. Abstract expressionism is inherently difficult to define; however, most recognize the art movement to “be clustered around two basic inclinations: an emphasis on dynamic, energetic gesture, in contrast to a reflective, cerebral focus on more open fields of color” (Paul, 2004). Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings lie at the heart of the abstract expressionist movement and epitomize Pollock’s focus on what he called “the energy, the motion, and other inner forces” of the world (Karmel, 1999). The frontier myth plays the largest and most influential role in Jackson Pollock’s success.

Hopper is a great choice for the 20th Century! While he is a popular Early 20th Century painter, he was not interested in the limelight. Many painters became popular public figures. Hopper was more like the figures in his works. There tend to be a few figures, but they all seem isolated or disinterested in those around them. Isolation and alienation were two ideas that were explored by Hopper. While this work suggests there is something of interest outside the canvas, we do not know what it is. In addition, whatever it is, the women is alienated from it by the window. At some point, we all feel this way, and I think that is why we connect with Hopper's work.

“Edward Hopper said that Nighthawks was inspired by ‘a restaurant on New York’s Greenwich Avenue where two streets meet.’” (About This Artwork, Nighthawks, p.1) Hopper had many inspirations for this painting, however, through events in his life, such as venues he had visited, and the era of art for which he was involved. Hopper was born in 1882, and he studied at the New York School of Art from 1900 to 1906, and he studied and worked in the fine arts. During the first part of his art career, Hopper was an illustrator who traveled around Europe, gaining inspiration from the areas he visited, as well as gain more knowledge to increase his skills in creating artworks. At first, he struggled to sell his artwork and create a name for himself so he could become more popular; even after he returned to the United States he had difficulties.

Not many people are able to successfully create a brand for themselves using products that are sold in the typical department store, so knowing that an artist was able to create a brand that surpassed the art world and joined up with other companies from different aspects of society is what other brands can only dream about achieving. Andy Warhol was able to successfully create a brand in the art world that, even after his death, had spread to other parts of society and continues to spread today. His brand is being permitted for use by other national brands like Levi’s, Perrier Mineral Water, and even Campbell’s Soup Company. These companies are not what a consumer would typically associate with a brand that started off as silk-screen paintings. Unbeknownst to Andy Warhol, not only did his brand popularize Pop Art, but his choice of common household brands also changed the companies the brands came from.

The people back in the 19th century really didn’t accept Van Gaogh’s truthful and emotionally morbid way of expressing the way of art is to himself. It finally was seen as art through the people’s eyes. This set a stage of art that is now known as Expressionism. It is best characterized by the use of symbols and a style that expresses the artist’s inner feelings about his subject. His style of painting is exemplified by a projection of the painter’s inner experience onto the canvas he paints on. Van Gogh’s paintings are done with his feelings that goes on in his life. (Mark Harden’s Artchive)

Edward Hopper is a renowned American painter. In the poem “the house by the Railroad,” he tries to portray a picture of a house erected beside the railroad. This poem seems to bear a lot more than what its simple title indicates. He has used the railroad to emphasize the rift between the viewer’s world and the picture space. The more one tries to penetrate the depths of his paintings, the more difficult it becomes. Hopper’s artistic vision was in line with his view of the contemporary world and nature. This piece of art symbolizes loss that is felt when present progress leaves behind an agrarian society the central theme being the Alienation of modern life.

In the small town of Charleston, an older, lonely man sits at the bar in a Diner. A young couple sat at the other end drinking coffee. The woman was dressed nice in a pretty red dress and the man looking dapper with his blue suit and hat. The older man is a regular at this diner. He arrives at the same time, sits on the same stool, and is always dressed nice as if he were about to meet someone. He never did though. The waiter knows the older man by name and says, "Hey Hopper, anything new today or just the same old, same old?" whenever he would walk in. Hopper would just shrug his shoulders as usual and sit on his stool. He looks at the couple at the end of the bar and nods, while waiting for the waiter to get him his
