Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is a renowned American painter of American realism, famous for his depictions of loneliness in the American lifestyle. Born in Nyack, New York, to parents who owned a fabric store, he showed talent for drawing from a young age. After artistic studies and travels to Paris, London, and Berlin, he developed a personal style. In 1924, an exhibition of watercolors in Gloucester marked his success. In 1930, he donated "House by the Railroad" to MoMA, influencing Alfred Hitchcock. In 1950 and 1956, the Whitney Museum dedicated two retrospectives to him. Hopper died in 1967, but his art, often associated with silence and solitude, continues to be influential and interpreted in a psychoanalytic key.
