In the life of Edward Hopper

The whole life

1937–1938
Vermont: watercolours on the White River
In the summers of 1937 and 1938 the couple spends extended sojourns at Wagon Wheels Farm in South Royalton, Vermont, where Hopper paints a series of watercolours along the White River, mostly “pure” landscapes without architecture or human figures; the best known is “First Branch of the White River” (1938).
late 1940s
A creative crisis
In the late 1940s Hopper suffers a period of relative inactivity: he admits that he wishes he could paint more and is sick of reading and going to the movies.
1950s and 1960s
Prostate surgeries and failing health
Over the next two decades Hopper's health falters, with several prostate surgeries and other medical problems, but in the 1950s and early 1960s he still creates several more major works.
