Derweil im Leben von Edward Hopper
Das ganze Leben1914
A commission for movie posters
In 1914 Hopper receives a commission to create movie posters and handle publicity for a movie company; he does not like illustration, but he remains a lifelong devotee of cinema and theatre, both of which he treats as subjects and which influence his compositional methods.
1915–1923
Turning to etching
At an impasse over his oil paintings, in 1915 Hopper turns to etching; by 1923 he has produced most of his approximately 70 etchings, many of them urban scenes of Paris and New York, as well as some posters for the war effort.
1916–1919
Monhegan Island: seascapes
Hopper paints the majority of his pure seascapes of rocks, sea and beach grass on Monhegan Island between 1916 and 1919, mostly in strong light and fair weather.
1918
The Shipping Board Prize for “Smash the Hun”
In 1918 Hopper is awarded the $300 U.S. Shipping Board Prize for his war poster “Smash the Hun”.
