Edward Hopper and Cinema || Great Art Explained Extra

Movies have been inspired by fine art from the very beginning of the cinema industry.

Edward Hopper was 13 years old when the first motion pictures were shown - he was in his late 40s when talking pictures came, and he died just as Bonnie and Clyde was being released.

You could say his life was tied to cinematic history.

Hopper is seen as one of the first 20th-century artists to be influenced by the cinema.

He was an artist - more than any other - who loved cinema - and cinema loved him.
