Edward Hopper's work showed a narrow view of New York

Season 38 Episode 1

About the Episode

Edward Hopper painted what he wanted to paint, showing no interest in the growing diversity of America or the social movements happening in New York City. "It's just almost comical for me to imagine Hopper, still in his button-down at his easel, when you have this great Bohemian culture happening right outside the window," says curator Kim Conaty. "And it's not really reflected in the work."
