In celebration of the massive 2022-23 exhibit at the Whitney Museum, Phil Grabsky explores the work of America’s icon painter, whose haunting still lives have impacted visual arts, music, photography and music, and defined our national style. Edward Hopper is also a mystery: who was he? How did a struggling illustrator create such a rich selection of work? The film includes interviews, quotes from his diaries and the work itself.
