Anything but Still Lives: The Worlds of Edward Hopper (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through iconic and oft-reproduced works, American realist Edward Hopper (1882-1967) gained widespread recognition as the artist who gave visual form to the anonymity, isolation and (perhaps) boredom, loneliness and stagnation of twentieth century American life. This collection of short fiction takes nine Hopper canvases and imagines a narrative beyond the frame of each 'still life' presented therein. Just as filmmakers like Sam Mendes or Wim Wenders were energised by Hopper's tableux to introduce temporal and spatial motion to moments frozen in time, so too will this suite of stories take the reader on a journey through the interwar and later years of Hopper's women. Their lives anything but still, with experiences transcending the cultural and historical constraints of their all-too-human condition, these works of painterly prose invite the reader to enter and explore the worlds conjured by Hopper's art in text.

Autorenporträt

I am a writer, a mother and many other things besides depending on the viewer's perspective. My works of prose fiction - composed either as short story or novel - seek to explore the human condition, existing in, of and with the world. These fictions I support with contemplative essays and poetry through which the prismic diversity of life can be engaged within different aesthetic frames. Underlying all my work, however, is the sole intent to contribute to the conversation on peace, and to share my understanding that love is the foundation toward a more peaceful and compassionate world, respectful of all.
