This work surveys Hopper's development as an artist - the influence of his teacher, Robert Henri, his early and formative trips to Paris, his first sold-out show, his work as an illustrator, and the role of Josephine Hopper, Hopper's wife and model. Who was this man to concern himself so with the enigmatic potential of painting? This work uniquely lends itself to answering this question, among others raised. 102 illus., 55 color. 158p.
