Edward Hopper

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.
Edward Hopper

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.

Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper

It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method.
Edward Hopper

Maybe I am not very human - what I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.
Edward Hopper

More of me comes out when I improvise.
