Hopper by Strand Mark (78 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Now in rich color, thirty of American painter Edward Hopper's masterpieces with critiques from acclaimed poet Mark Strand. Strand deftly illuminates the work of the frequently misunderstood American painter, whose enigmatic paintings--of gas stations, storefronts, cafeterias, and hotel rooms--number among the most powerful of our time. In brief but wonderfully compelling comments accompanying each painting, the elegant expressiveness of Strand's language is put to the service of Hopper's visual world. The result is a singularly illuminating presentation of the work of one of America's best-known artists. Strand shows us how the formal elements of the paintings--geometrical shapes pointing beyond the canvas, light from unseen sources--locate the viewer, as he says, in a virtual space where the influence and availability of feeling predominate. An unforgettable combination of prose and painting in their highest forms, this book is a must for poetry and art lovers alike. …

At the age of 40, he was a failing artist who struggled to sell a single painting. As he approached 80, Time magazine featured him on its cover. Today, half a century after his death, Hopper is considered a giant of modern expression, with an uncanny, unforgettable, and utterly distinct sense for mood and place.Much of Hopper's work excavates modern city experience. In canvas after canvas, he depicts diners, cafes, shopfronts, street lights, gas stations, rail stations, and hotel rooms. The scenes are marked by vivid color juxtapositions and stark, theatrical lighting, as well as by harshly contoured figures, who appear at once part of, and alien to, their surroundings. The ambiance throughout his repertoire is of an eerie disquiet, alienation, loneliness and psychological tension, although his rural or coastal scenes can offer a counterpoint of tranquility or optimism.This book presents key works from Hopper's oeuvre to introduce a key player not only in American art history but also in the American psyche.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Con penetrante lucidez y una aguda capacidad de observación y exégesis, Strand viaja al origen del hipnótico misterio que late en las telas del pintor. Pocos pintores hay en la historia del arte del siglo tan icónicos, reconocibles y comentados como Edward Hopper. Su obra refleja la extrañeza de nuestro entorno cotidiano y urbano. A pesar de que sus pinturas constituyen ya un tópico visual, hay en su callada belleza mucho silencio que pugna por ser verbalizado. Y ahí es donde Mark Strand ensaya sus variaciones en torno a la obra del maestro norteamericano. Strand, uno de los grandes poetas de nuestro tiempo, nos invita a mirar con él esas escenas desoladas, esos relatos esbozados, esos interiores despojados de nuestra humanidad. Sus comentarios -organizados en torno a una amplia selección de pinturas- se convierten en verdaderas traducciones del universo plástico de Hopper. Si bien no estamos ante un libro de poemas, es indudable que el trabajo de Strand debe mucho a la poesía y a la forma de mirar que nutre el ejercicio poético. Y a esa labor se le añade en esta edición -ilustrada con las pinturas que originan los textos- la espléndida traducción de Juan Antonio Montiel, capaz de preservar en castellano la minuciosa riqueza de matices y acentos del original inglés. Críticas: «De las muchas obras escritas sobre Hopper ninguna es más serena y misteriosamente cercana que el brillante librito de Mark Strand. » John Updike *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
