Edward Hopper and the City
Lecture by Kathy McLaughlin
Tuesday 15th April 8pm
Hopper’s paintings of the city present a vision of modern humanity living in a state of isolation. The figures in Nighthawks, or Office at Night may inhabit the same space, but they are otherwise disconnected one from the other, alone in their thoughts. Hopper also manages to convey the strange wonder of the urban experience. This lecture suggests that space has an important part to play and that we need to take a closer look at the built environment – Hopper’s treatment of apartment blocks, theatres, offices and streets. This lecture considers the expressive possibilities of the urban environment in art.
Kathy is a freelance lecturer specialising in 19th century art history, she has published catalogues and
