Exhibition on Screen: Hopper—An American Love Story

Edward Hopper’s work is some of 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 into 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—An American Love Story brings to life America’s arguably most influential artist.

This film is part of the Beyond the Frame series.
