| Summary |
Despite being a figurative painter when abstraction was the trend, Edward Hopper was and remains a defining presence in the art world. His bleak and mysterious interpretations on light and solitary characters, have inspired a generation of fellow artists, musicians and filmmakers. This film examines the painter's life, and includes testimonies from people who knew him, and someone inspired by his work, German filmmaker Wim Wenders.
