With ten rare paintings and drawings by Hopper, and work by eight photographers spanning the years 1936 to 1974, this ambitious exhibition explores Hopper's enormous influence on the medium of photography.
The 8 photographers are: Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan, Lee Friedlander, Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Stephen Shore, and William Eggleston.
"Hopper's respect for humble subjects, his interest in psycological, his depth as a landscape artist, and his sensitivity to the power of color to communicate feeling, are only some of the elements that may have led the writer Geoff Dyer to theorize that Hopper " could claim to be the most influential American photographer of twentieth century - even though he didn't take any photographs." (...) The paintings and photographs in EDWARD HOPPER AND COMPANY are potent evidence of his legacy, each an acknowledgment of the implications of light, silence, of clear-sightedness."
