Edward Hopper



These are works by Edward Hopper. Edward Hopper was known for his vision of reality and his landscapes. He was born in New York in a middle class family. I chose this image because it reminded me of the TV show Bates Motel.  When researching I learned that the house Hopper had created was later used as a inspiration for the Bates Mansion in the film Psycho. The house represented in these paintings were bought by General Thomas Gagan in 1919 located in Rockland County. I like how mysterious this Victorian mansion looks and seeing the transition from the drawing to the painting is remarkable.
