This Great Art Explained ‘Extras’ series are films designed to complement my main series. Stories that interested me during my research that I wanted to expand on.
Movies have been inspired by fine art from the very beginning of the cinema industry, sometimes in the form of a sequence, sometimes in the art direction or the position of the actors, or sometimes in the ‘feel’ of a movie.
Edward hopper was 13 years old when the first motion pictures were shown - he was in his late 40s when talking pictures came, and he died just as Bonnie and Clyde was being released. You could say his life was tied to cinematic history.
Edward Hopper is seen as one of the first 20th-century artists to be influenced by the cinema. He was an artist - more than any other - who loved cinema - and cinema loved him.

One can only try to imagine the amount of work that went into producing this video. I am saving it under "Movies" rather than "Art" and will watch it for the rest of my life.

This is what I love the most about learning about art history: this symbiotic relationship the visual art world has with other mediums in terms of inspiration and influence. The freedom to be inspired by forms of expression different than your own, it's exhilarating!

When I was a teenager, I had Thanksgiving dinner in the house that Hopper used as the model for House by the Railroad. The owners were my dad's landlords for a bit--wonderful people. As a young art geek, I remember being pretty stoked about it.

One of my absolute favorite art channels. It combines the production value of something from BBC but with the sincerity and down-to-earth quality of encountering an intelligent, eloquent and passionate art enthusiast - like meeting an amazing stranger in an art museum and hearing his thoughts and ideas. I studied art history and this is better than some of the lectures I attended. Art is for everyone and this channel is a love letter to its appreciation.

Yep - Ridley Scott insisted his art director look at Edward Hopper paintings.

@12thDecember Год назад

As always, such a well crafted video. So well done, in fact, that this particular one has left me feeling slightly depressed as I consider the common human experience of alienation.

@anastassiyakim7041 Год назад

One of my fav artists. His style of depiction of loneliness and alienation is the best. Have not seen even a single one of his artworks’ that would fill with happiness… his art drags you into thoughts , it s not those paintings that you would just enjoy, they are full of consideration and questions - that makes him so different.

@mettenna2635 Год назад

I've never seen the connection between Hopper and movies presented so succinctly before. Great research! Felt like I was seeing the paintings for the first time. Your videos always have a multiple viewing factor and I'd say I'll be re-watching this one (and enjoying it) many times in order to absorb it all.

@GreatArtExplained Год назад

Edward hoppers work is so categorically American. His work is where civilization meets nature, and where human interaction falls between them. His ability to capture emotion is incredible

Ever since the one on Hopper which mentions his impact on cinema I’ve wanted exactly this so thank you so much 😁 Also for anyone interested, there is a fantastic book which goes into extensive detail about the visual culture of cinema being intwined with art history named ‘Art History for Filmmakers’ by Gillian McIver

For years I would stare at that painting and think about world it came from and what it spoke to - through my childhood all the way to adolescence and adulthood. You do an amazing job of summarizing his contributions. Your work is so impressive and valuable. Please keep it up!

A few years ago when I started painting, I accidentaly painted something in the style of Hopper, but I didnt knew who he was and I was so obsessed with hyperrealism that I tried to fix it and thereby ruined it. I wish I could go back and stop myself. I still try to recreate his style sometimes, but its like Im cursed, because it only happens when I try to do something else.

I didn't get to explore it in depth during pre Internet days of spending long hours in libraries. However, I learned enough to develop a life- long interest in Hopper's art. Nowadays, the gaming youtubers talk about 'liminal spaces' in gaming design. I'm reminded by this of some of Hopper's themes .
