As a boy, Edward Hopper knew exactly what he wanted to be when he grew up: on the cover of his pencil box, he wrote the words EDWARD HOPPER, WOULD-BE ARTIST. He traveled to New York and to Paris to hone his craft. And even though no one wanted to buy his paintings for a long time, he never stopped believing in his dream to be an artist. He was fascinated with painting light and shadow and his works explore this challenge.Edward Hopper's story is one of courage, resilience, and determination.
In this picture book biography of Edward Hopper, Robert Burleigh and Wendell Minor invite young readers into the world of a truly special American painter, most celebrated for his paintings "Nighthawks" and "Gas."
