Enigmatic American artist Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is known for his evocative and contemplative paintings and drawings that "taught us a new way of seeing both the 20th century and ourselves" says author and critic Walter Wells. Wells explores the compelling connections between two Hopper works in the IMA's collection, Hotel Lobby (1943) and New York, New Haven and Hartford (1931)--and the mutual influence of photography, film and poetry on Hopper's work. Talk underwritten by the Myrtie Schumacker Lecture Fund.
