Edward Hopper’s Women at Seattle Art Museum
The Seattle Art Museum recently unveiled some of Edward Hopper’s best known paintings in the exhibit, Edward Hopper’s Women, a collection of images of 1920’s women in New York. The evocative images are set in New York City, showing the emerging women in routine, every day moments of life.
Hopper was an American realist painter, known best for his oil paintings. His works consistent primarily of urban and rural scenes that depicted his personal vision of modern life.
This exhibit features Chop Suey, painted in 1929 and one of the early Hopper paintings of modern urban life, along with several etchings.
Hopper fans, as well as fans of the realism school, will find this exhibit compelling and evocative in its portrayal of the emerging role of women.
