Celebrating the work of Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and published in conjunction with 2004-2005 exhibitions at Tate Modern, London, and Museum Ludwig, Cologne, this volume comprises five essays
and a catalogue of paintings, drawings, and etchings (presented full page). In their essays, editor Wagstaff (Tate Modern) and four contributors (affiliated, respectively, with Phaidon Press,
the U. of Essex, Long Island U., and UCLA) discuss Hopper's works in terms of content, process, and technique, including unusual discussion of how film and other forms of popular culture
influenced his art. The end matter includes a chronology, bibliography, and lists of works and lenders. The book is oversize: 10x12". It is distributed in the US by Abrams. Annotation 穢2004
