In the tradition of our Any Warhol; Pop Art Painter, this is a biography of the celebrated American painter Edward Hopper. The book follows his youth to his education to his journeys to Paris to his settling down in Greenwich Village to pursue his artwork. The book documents his career as a commercial artist (how he first earned a living) as well as his eventual success as a great American painter. Among the artwork included are "Nighthawks", "Cape Cod Evening" and "House By The Railroad". A comparison is made to other artists of the period such as O'Keeffe, Pollock, and Marin.
