Today we're also thinking of Edward Hopper, born OTD 1882. "Cape Cod Morning" (1950) is reproduced from 'Edward Hopper: A New Perspective on Landscape,' the beautifully produced exhibition catalog from @hatjecantzverlag and @fondationbeyeler "To me, form, color and design are merely a means to an end, the tools I work with, and they do not interest me greatly for their own sake," Hopper wrote in 1939. "I am interested primarily in the vast field of experience and sensation… One must say guardedly, human experience, for the fear of having it confounded with superficial anecdote. I am always repelled by painting that deals narrowly with harmonies or dissonances of color and design. My aim in painting is always using nature as the medium, to try to project upon canvas my most intimate reaction to the subject as it appears when I like it most; when the facts are given unity by my interest and prejudices."
