The Realism of Edward Hopper (1882-1967)

In Milan and Rome will hold the largest exhibition ever realized in Italy on Edward Hopper, one of the most popular American artists of the twentieth century and front figure of American Realism. In his works, mainly depicting the loneliness of human beings in contemporary society, portraits are often individuals who suffer passively surrounding environments, as overwhelmed by everyday life, of which they only marginally take part.
The exhibition, which includes over 160 works, is sponsored by the city of Milan with the collaboration of Fondazione Roma, Arthemisia of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Hermitage Foundation in Lausanne. The exhibition will begin Milan , October 15, 2009 to January 24, 2010 at the splendid setting of Palazzo Reale, at Piazza del Duomo, 12. In Rome the exhibition will be held from February 16 to June 13, 2010.
