About Edward Hopper (1882-1967)

Edward Hopper was an American realist painter and printmaker. Born in 1882, he is best known for his depictions of American life and culture, particularly his scenes of isolated motels, diners, and gas stations. Hopper's works are characterized by their attention to light and shadow, as well as their evocative use of color and composition. He was a master of capturing the mood and atmosphere of modern life, and his works often convey a sense of loneliness and isolation.

Today, Hopper's works continue to be celebrated for their innovative techniques and insightful depictions of American life, and can be found in major museums around the world. He remains one of the most influential and beloved artists of the 20th century, and his works continue to inspire new generations of artists and art lovers alike.

Real Reviews from Real Teachers & Parents

See Why Everyone Loves Meet The Masters

We have been enjoying Meet the Masters at Friends Christian School for about 7 years. I am so impressed with the program. It has taught the children not only facts about a particular artist but also a love of art. Many of the students who are not excelling academically find a talent or expression in art that they may not find anywhere else. This builds their self-confidence. I have seen this time and time again. Our MTM teacher has been such an inspiration to our students with her passion and enthusiasm. The way she leads the assembly with slides, hands-on objects, facts, and background of the artist has the kids so intently listening it is amazing. The children are able to recall facts about the artist long after the project, because it is taught in such an interesting and exciting way. Being someone who loves art and creativity I wanted to thank you for this program for our school and thank you for sending a teacher who loves what she does.

We are truly blessed.
