Pendant ce temps, chez Edward Hopper
La vie entière1915–1923
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.
January 1920
A one-man show at the Whitney Studio Club
In January 1920 a one-man exhibition of Hopper's work is held at the Whitney Studio Club, the precursor to the Whitney Museum; earlier, in 1917, he took part in a show of the Society of Independent Artists, and in 1922 he exhibits again at the Whitney Studio Club.

Gloucester: meeting Josephine again, and the watercolours
In the summer of 1923, on a painting trip to Gloucester, Hopper re-encounters the artist Josephine Nivison; with her encouragement he turns to watercolour, producing numerous scenes of Gloucester. They marry a year later, with the artist Guy Pène du Bois as best man.
1923
The Brooklyn Museum buys “The Mansard Roof”
With Josephine's help six of Hopper's Gloucester watercolours are admitted to an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, and one of them, “The Mansard Roof”, is bought by the museum for its permanent collection for $100; the critics generally rave about his work.
1924
Every watercolour sold: farewell to illustration
At a one-man show with his dealer Frank Rehn in 1924 Hopper sells all his watercolours and finally decides to put illustration behind him; his financial stability will let him live a simple, stable life and keep creating art in his personal style for four more decades.
