Description
Edward Hopper pioneered an American impressionism that captured the essence of streetside life in New York City during the early 20th century. He established himself with "New York Corner," the central piece in a new exhibit, that portrayed milling market-dwellers, a wispy golden facade and foggy, looming skyscrapers. Richard Diebenkorn studied at Stanford and took immediately to Hopper's style--borrowing elements of his interplay between light and shadow, and his ability to infuse a piece with austerity. The Cantor will present 29 of Diebenkorn’s sketchbooks, digitally remastered for easy navigation, to trace the progression of this Bay Area artist's storied career. (JF)
