Edward+Hopper

This man was born in Nyack, New York on July 22, 1882. his ancestors were dry-goods merchants. He struggled in his rented art studio for years. He was unhappy most of the time. He sold a painting called Sailing that he painted over a self-portrait of himself, he became rich, famous, and powerful because of it. His father died and Ed moved to a "different" section of New York, Greenwich Village. He was happy for most of that time. He did little illustrations, but focused mainly on theater productions. Some of his most famous works are Summer Interior, and Girl at a Sewing Machine. I like his style. He is very serious. That one on the Sewing Machine is working. The girl in the other one is not working. She is sitting there like a stapler sits on a desk. He died on May 5, 1967.
