Edward Hopper was a prominent American realist painter and printmaker known for his spare renderings of modern American life in both urban and rural scenes. Born in 1882 and active until his death in 1967, Hopper created works like Self-Portrait and Morning Sun that reflected his personal vision of American life through finely calculated scenes of cities and motels.
