Forty-four plates, reproduced directly from originals in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, reveal Hopper's superb draftsmanship and evocative power. Realistic depictions of everyday urban scenes and stark landscapes — done originally in crayon, charcoal, pencil, and other monochromatic media — depict Manhattan streets, a lighthouse, the rural Northeast, and more.

This review is from: Hopper Drawings (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
I own a lot of Dover art series books. They are excellent books for beginning artists in that they show how the old masters did their early works using different media. Much can be learned from the Dover art books in the use of subject, form, and shading. The Hopper Drawings is one of my favorite Dover art books. Most of the drawings in this book have been made using the Conte crayon. I prefer the Conte crayon over charcoal. It is very sleek, clean, and smooth. The drawings show how masterful Hopper is with the Conte crayon and much can learned by studying his drawings.

This review is from: Hopper Drawings (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
This budget priced book contains many lovely and enlightening examples of Hopper's drawings including some studies for some of his well known paintings. This slim volume contains no text at all, not even an introduction, with the single exception of a short blurb on the back cover. The quality of the paper reflects the price of the book but Hopper fans may still find this a valuable addition to their art library.

This review is from: Hopper Drawings (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
Edward Hopper's drawings are easy to duplicate and in so doing you learn a good deal about shading and characterization. Very good book.
