Edward Hopper is one thing but Tatiana Hopper in my books is a brilliant talent as well. Such a topic such beautifully executed in this movie, great job !!

I won't (I will) comment on the beauty of the video as a whole as so many have already rightly done in the comments. But I will take the time to make sure you know how beautiful your "View From My Hotel Room" picture is. It has a small but certain Hopper sensibility but its your proximity to the plane of the table and how its curves play with the chair curve and the railing lines as they all play with the open expanse behind that is spectacular. Not to mention its perfect palette and that miniscule gap between ocean and railing. Bravo.

I have been looking at three books on ed H. ---been in mc donalds one night and made my "Hopper image" what fun !

[joelk]

Very interesting and thought provoking. Presentation is A+! Thanks!

One of the best photography/art channels on YouTube. Brilliant! Thanks for your insights and approach.

I have shot many street and landscape cityscape photography that mimics Hopper’s style without consciously trying to follow him. I liked Hopper images as i discover his paintings during my visits of museums. My style are saturated colors graphic geometric with strong contrast in my compositions. Thanks for the video.

I remember seeing Nighthawks in Chicago and I love Nighthawks. That painting and pretty much Hopper’s painting pretty much inspired me to do photography.

[deanpagani]

Thank you Tatiana. Very well done and informative. I think Hopper is the painter who offers the greatest influence and inspiration to photographers.

[yuval]

Thank you for a great educational video,
I want to say how much I liked the animation of the painting

[mariobravo]

OMG ! This video is the coolest on Soooo MANY levels. Imagine a review by none other than T. Hopper !, who, herself is an amazing person !!!!

[totoff]

Such a great and intelligent tutorial. One of the best channels you can come across! Thank you.

I appreciate Hopper even more after this Hopper-on-Hopper treatment. Many thanks! Hopper really is special, isn't he. He's categorized as a realist, but he's so much more than that.

Josephine Hopper said about her husband: "Sometimes talking to Eddie is just like dropping a stone in a well, except that it doesn't thump when it hits bottom."

Your cinematography is getting better and better every day. . You insight of the subject you learnt from or inspired from is genuine and brilliant . I have learned a lot today and thank you. .

[garonkiesel]

Thank you so much for your in depth review of Edward Hopper. He is one of my all time favorites. No matter the current fashion or trend in art, Hopper's work never goes out of style.

[VictorReynolds]

Thanks for such an informative and inspiring video Tatiana. I love Hopper’s work, and it has inspired my photography. All the best!

[stuartmeador]

excellent analysis.... i have always appreciated Hopper....

[bernardlesperance]

It is one thing to have a personal vision and quite another to be able to express that vision in a consistent, uniquely recognizable manner - what may be called a 'personal style.' The latter is relatively rare and distinguishes the greats from the rest.

Great video. Thanks. Hopper’s work, which I love, has two main overarching characteristics to me; humility of subjects, and restraint in interpretation by the painter. Simplicity by which he paints the “outer layer” you mentioned allows us to dive quickly and easily into the inner layers. For that reason I always feel peaceful looking at his work, and it’s always a calming experience. I can only hope I can get to that level with photography one day, which by the way you seem to have reached already. The photos you’ve sprinkled in this video are just spectacular.

[arockwell]

I never fail to learn something valuable from your videos. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! ✌️

[aha]

Thank you for this video! It resonates with my perception that there is a close relationship between photography and Hoppers work. And also that we more often than not connect the inner and the visible world - as Hopper did so masterful. I liked the quote from JW Goethe a lot! A sign that all art, all artists all minds are connected somehow.
