Art historian David Anfam considers the pictorial devices Hopper used to imbue these commonplace subjects with such psychological tension.
Why have Edward Hopper’s depictions of lunch counters, gas stations, rooftops and domestic interiors become so iconic? Art historian David Anfam considers the pictorial devices Hopper used to imbue these commonplace subjects with such psychological tension. He will investigate the relationships between Hopper and other American artists of the period, as well as the extent to which the sense of alienation present in Hopper’s work has informed our general perceptions of mid-century America. David Anfam has published widely on Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Arshile Gorky and Philip Guston and other New York painters. He is Commissioning Editor at Phaidon Press, and a contributor to Tate’s Edward Hopper exhibition catalogue.
