Film: Hopper

Hopper’s work is the most recognizable art in America – popular, praised, and mysterious. Countless painters, photographers, filmmakers, and musicians have been influenced by his art – but who was he, and how did a struggling illustrator create such a bounty of notable work? This new film takes a deep look at Hopper’s art, his life, and his relationships.

From his early career as an illustrator; his wife giving up her own promising art career to be his manager; his critical and commercial acclaim; and, in his own words, this film explores the enigmatic personality behind the brush… Combined with expert interviews, diaries, and a startling visual reflection of American life, Hopper brings to life America’s arguably most influential artist.
