"The painter, draftsman, and illustrator Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is one of America's
best-known and most frequently exhibited artists. This revealing volume unfolds the
layered meanings of a key motif in Edward Hopper's work, exploring the hotel-motel
subject as an agent of cultural transformation and emblem of its time." An examination
of the hotel and motel imagery-and the culture it represents--in Edward Hopper's iconic
paintings and watercolors. The painter, draftsman, and illustrator Edward Hopper (1882-1967)
is one of America's best-known and most frequently exhibited artists. Hotels, motels,
and tourist homes are recurring motifs in his work, along with streets, lighthouses,
and gas stations forming a visual vocabulary of transportation infrastructure. In
ten essays, this fascinating volume explores Hopper's lifelong investigation of such
spaces, shedding light on both his professional practice and far-reaching changes
in transportation and communications, which affected not only work and leisure but
also dynamics of race, class, and gender. Hopper's covers for the trade journal Hotel
Management, in addition to other well-known works, invite reflection on the complicated
roles of the nascent New Woman; the erasure of hotel work and workers; contemporary
associations of the color white with cleanliness and purity; the watercolors Hopper
made from hotel windows and rooftops in Mexico; and the broader context of transportation
history. A final section traces journeys that Hopper and his wife, the artist Josephine
"Jo" Nivison Hopper, took by car in the 1940s and 1950s; selected correspondence and
quotations from Jo's diaries join reproductions of postcards and ephemera illuminating
their-and fellow Americans'-shifting travel habits.SUBJECT(S)
