The works of Edward Hopper (1882-1967), a major player in 20th century American painting, are now considered icons of modern art. Paintings such as Drug Store, New York Movie and Nighthawks, which are universally recognised, have reshaped the face of painting in America. To keep track of the stories behind his paintings, Hopper meticulously catalogued the sketches, annotating them with details of the technique used and figures on their sale.

This book compares the paintings, the corresponding sketches and the artist's personal notes. On each double page, the work done on the spot and its final rendering face each other, thus offering a new reading of the artist's work as well as his vision on his own work. The book also reproduces his personal notebook with his sketches and notes.
