{"product_id":"hopper-basic-art","title":"Hopper Basic Art","description":"Edward Hopper (1882–1967) would have embodied the archetypal American success story had recognition arrived slightly sooner. At the age of 40, he remained an unsuccessful painter who struggled to sell a single piece of art. By the time he approached his eightieth year, however, his portrait appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Today, half a century following his death, Hopper is acknowledged as a titan of modern visual expression, renowned for an unforgettable, singular sense of atmosphere and spatial mood.\n\nA major portion of Hopper's artistic output examines the contemporary urban experience in depth. Canvas after canvas portrays diners, cafes, storefronts, street lamps, gas stations, train stations, and hotel rooms. These compositions are distinguished by vivid color contrasts, stark and theatrical lighting, and sharply rendered human figures who seem at once embedded within their environments and thoroughly disconnected from them. An uncanny mood of unease, alienation, solitude, and psychological tension permeates his entire body of work, though his rural and coastal landscapes can provide a tranquil or optimistic counterpoint. This volume presents key works from Hopper's oeuvre to introduce a pivotal figure not only in American art history, but also across the American psyche.\n\nAbout the series: Established in 1985, the Basic Art Series has developed into the bestselling art book collection ever published. Every volume in TASCHEN's Basic Art series provides a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work covering their historical and cultural significance, a concise biography, and approximately 100 illustrations accompanied by explanatory captions.","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55984680567106,"sku":"3378","price":1230.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5734\/8930\/files\/hopper-basic-art-sanat-taschen-rolf-g-renner-14068-33-O.jpg?v=1787595538","url":"https:\/\/lumiefilm.com\/products\/hopper-basic-art","provider":"LUMIE FILM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
