Edward Hopper at Grand Palais : October 10th – January 28th

Paintings by Edward Hopper (1882-1967) have the deceptive simplicity of myths, a sort of picture-book obviousness. Each one is a concentrate of the hypothetical knowledge and dreams conjured up by the fabulous name of America. Whether they express deep poignancy or explore figments of the imagination, these paintings have been interpreted in the most contradictory ways. A romantic, realist, symbolist and even formalist, Hopper has been enrolled under every possible banner. The exhibition at the Grand Palais seeks to shed light on this complexity, which is an indication of the richness of Hopper’s oeuvre.

Thats how the site of Grand Palais starts its explanation about the painter. His paintings are hyperrealistic, yet it’s as you see them in a dream.

Grand Palais, enter at 3, Av. du Général-Eisenhouwer, 75008 Paris, M° Franklin Rosevelt line 1,9,13
