HOPPER THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY
Alongside the "Human In Nature: The Art & Wit of Rodney Smith" exhibition, Edward Hopper House is pleased to present intimate glimpses of Hopper’s life captured in photos from the Sanborn-Hopper Family Archive. This exhibition is on view all winter 2019-2020 as we celebrate the powerful art of photography.
The advent of the camera in the mid-19th century materialized a complex view on whether photography was an art or a science, yet by the turn of the century, photography advanced in its production and photographers were able to control the composition. IN all its resulting aesthetic and documentarian use, one cannot imagine the field of art without the power of photography. Each of these photographs in the Sanborn Gallery are pictorial as they capture the artist in his youth and throughout his lifetime.
