<P>This glorious book allows the reader to revel in Hopper’s most well-known and masterful works, reproduced one after the other at full page and in full color; but it also enables you to rediscover the artist, to delve further than the obvious paintings to fully understand his motivations, and then to reassess his works in a fresh light. Before the "Masterpieces" section, some thoughtful text discusses Hopper from a number of angles, laying the groundwork with life and times, traveling through the places that inspired him, examining his key subjects and themes, and explaining the styles and techniques by which he was influenced or to which he subscribed, not forgetting his lasting legacy. His works are cross-referenced, so you get the most out of the paintings. Whether the treatment of light and sense of place of <I>Lighthouse at Two Lights</I> appeals to your senses, or you are captivated by the untold story of the pensive woman in <I>Automat</I>, <I>Edward Hopper Masterpieces</I> will be a book to treasure and revisit.</P>
