Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was an American realist painter and printmaker.While he is widely known for his oil paintings, he was equally proficient as a watercolorist and printmaker in etching.
Hopper created subdued drama out of commonplace subjects 'layered with a poetic meaning', inviting narrative interpretations.He was praised for "complete verity" in the America he portrayed.
His career benefited significantly from his marriage to fellow-artist Josephine Nivison, who contributed much to his work, both as a life-model and as a creative partner.
