This large- format 128 page book offers an excellent collection of Edward Hopper's paintings. Its pages measure 9.5" x 13", and the art works commonly are presented in 1 to 1.5-page spreads, allowing appreciation of their content and presentation. The 1942 Nighthawks (perhaps his most famous work) is presented in a two-page spread. The first several pages offer an account of Hopper's life and career, interspersed with photographs of the artist and paintings by other artists that influenced him. Most of the book consists of well- presented, full color presentations of Hopper's paintings, arranged chronologically from 1912 to 1961. More than 75 paintings are included, and each includes its title, year of production, and the museum where it is located. Although published in 1995, the quality of reproduction is quite good. This book is the 4th collection of Hopper's paintings that I have read, and I do recommend it to admirers of his work. ( )
