Kind of just an amalgamation of excerpts that mention Hopper and the paintings they reference. Its a cool idea, but the excerpts aren’t connected in any way, which is disengaging. Unless you’re a Hopper superfan, this book won’t appeal to you.

Great concept. Execution not the best sometimes. Love the Hopper art pieces.

[Ian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely reproductions of a few of Hopper's best paintings and prints with selections from authors who have referenced his works.

The Circle Theatre is a fabulous painting.
