This is what I love the most about learning about art history: this symbiotic relationship the visual art world has with other mediums in terms of inspiration and influence. The freedom to be inspired by forms of expression different than your own, it's exhilarating!

When I was a teenager, I had Thanksgiving dinner in the house that Hopper used as the model for House by the Railroad. The owners were my dad's landlords for a bit--wonderful people. As a young art geek, I remember being pretty stoked about it.

You make it so easy to follow the history and interpretation of art, even for art noobs like me. I always take something out of it. Thank you!

Yep - Ridley Scott insisted his art director look at Edward Hopper paintings.

One of my absolute favorite art channels. It combines the production value of something from BBC but with the sincerity and down-to-earth quality of encountering an intelligent, eloquent and passionate art enthusiast - like meeting an amazing stranger in an art museum and hearing his thoughts and ideas. I studied art history and this is better than some of the lectures I attended. Art is for everyone and this channel is a love letter to its appreciation.

thank you for this! not only am i a devoted hopper fan, but the last piece you featured (Sheridan Theatre) is located at the Newark Museum of Art, a block from my apartment. i make it a point of taking people past the rothko and the warhol to go look at it. it's amazingly small.

I swear that Vertigo by Hitchcock is just a two hour Hopper painting. Simple colors of red, blue, green, and yellow.

New York Movie feels like he had a direct image of what we wanted in his head, and was able to translate that onto canvas. Absolutely incredible.

Two works of Hopper are going to be in exhibition here in São Paulo at Pinacoteca tomorrow, and one is Night Shadows, can't wait to see it!! Thanks for another amazing doc!

I've never seen the connection between Hopper and movies presented so succinctly before. Great research! Felt like I was seeing the paintings for the first time. Your videos always have a multiple viewing factor and I'd say I'll be re-watching this one (and enjoying it) many times in order to absorb it all.

As always, such a well crafted video. So well done, in fact, that this particular one has left me feeling slightly depressed as I consider the common human experience of alienation.

Edward hoppers work is so categorically American. His work is where civilization meets nature, and where human interaction falls between them. His ability to capture emotion is incredible

Thank you for living. You’re educating, entertaining viewers around the world at the same time. Don’t know how to thank you all, the whole team of you great folks.

Cinematic tranquility and anxiety in one.

Oh now I know why his paintings always caught my eyes and gives me this familiar feeling everytime. Like, "Wait, I've seen this movie before!"

Thanks for making art accessible to (Im sure) so many. This channel was literally a gateway for me to be able to engage with learning about and appreciating art - and I am in my mid 30s!

Your increased devotion to a cinematic presentation of these videos is obvious over the past year. Your work into these is incredible, so much more engaging than other at history presentations of any kind

Hopper has been able to capture the mood of modern life. An infinite landscape of opportunity filled up with depressing loneliness.

Thank you for mentioning David Lynch. It was a huge relieve.

I am so happy you made this video! Ever since the one on Hopper which mentions his impact on cinema I’ve wanted exactly this so thank you so much 😁 Also for anyone interested, there is a fantastic book which goes into extensive detail about the visual culture of cinema being intwined with art history named ‘Art History for Filmmakers’ by Gillian McIver

1:08 wasn’t expecting that comparison 😂

One of my fav artists. His style of depiction of loneliness and alienation is the best. Have not seen even a single one of his artworks’ that would fill with happiness… his art drags you into thoughts , it s not those paintings that you would just enjoy, they are full of consideration and questions - that makes him so different.

Excellent to see all those film clips beside Hopper's paintings! Director Wim Wenders puts it so well with his observation that Edward Hopper's paintings all feel like frames from a movie.

I feel the artists and topics covered are given so much respect and nuance is brought to their stories that popular culture tends to brush over. Everything is so well researched, I recommend this channel to all my friend who love learning!

"The narrative power, lies in what is obscured or unseen.." Great quote ! Not only true in art.

This is a wonderful primer before you go see the current Hopper collection currently at the Whitney in NYC.

I briefly explored Hopper's work as part of my Photography and Video degree. Once you know his work you find yourself seeing the inspiration in many films old and new, as well as contemporary art photography. Great video!

You managed to condense all that wonderful insight into just 12 minutes instead of 15? Now you're just showing off. :)

I love this channel so much♡♡it's like every video is a carefully narrated art/history lesson. Happy to be here.

It's like this era combined impressionism with minimalism.

House by the Railroad 1925 looks like a house I used to live in, where a man died, gloomy, and many people think it’s haunted. But I really like that house, and I really like Edward Hopper’s paintings!

As a new resident of Nyack, I'm starting to appreciate hopper more than I have in the past and I am incredibly grateful for this video.

Wow - not only a wonderful analysis, almost a work of art in itself - a real visual treat. Thank you.

These videos hold my anxiety at bay to a point I am given a moment of rest in the madness of it. Thanks man, you have a real gift here.

I love any visual medium, to see film and Art interweaves is one of the reasons why I am alive

Superb! A fantastic illustration of how different arts nourish each other. Thank you for sharing and commenting on more of Hopper's paintings.

E. Hoppers works are captivating, to say the least. Now imagine KZread content that also captures the audience, and educates during the process. All this for free… thank you.

Damn I love this channel!!! Crazy inspiring in a multitude of ways

You just made me happy cry with this video. I’m a huge cinephile (name a movie and I’ve seen it), and i love looking up movie facts. Not once have a i heard of Edward hopper when searching info on the movies you mentioned. Thank you so muvh for teaching us about art. You are truly doing great work

Incredible job finding all the scenes from all the different movies, your effort does not go unnoticed. Amazing quality

They don't make art as they used to... On a happier note, James, your videos are beyond exceptional. Bravo!

Every Great Art Explained videos lead me to the entrance of a rabbit hole I ultimately always prove grateful to have been lost down. They're the anti-thesis of doom-scrolling. lol. Keep up the great work, you guys. People like me need/appreciate the curation.

I appreciate this and all your videos so deeply. The house I grew up had a hopper print over the fireplace. For years I would stare at that painting and think about world it came from and what it spoke to - through my childhood all the way to adolescence and adulthood. You do an amazing job of summarizing his contributions. Your work is so impressive and valuable. Please keep it up!

Thank you... this was so interesting!. I am a great fan of E.H but never realised or connected the mutual respect and corelation he had with cinema...and here it, is brought to light ( for me ,anyway!) by your wonderful mini tutorial !

This was great thank you. I've seen a few of his paintings but I didn't know who Hopper was, love the insight on his work and the cinema homages

Every month I look forward to your videos. They got me truly mesmerised by art. Thank you.

Another amazing video. This channel is criminally underrated.

Edward Hopper is my favourite artist.. of ALL TIME. period.

A few years ago when I started painting, I accidentaly painted something in the style of Hopper, but I didnt knew who he was and I was so obsessed with hyperrealism that I tried to fix it and thereby ruined it. I wish I could go back and stop myself. I still try to recreate his style sometimes, but its like Im cursed, because it only happens when I try to do something else.

You’ve just articulated what I’ve always admired about Hopper’s work so well. Thank you so much for making this video and including references and making side by side comparisons. Everything clicked so well for me ❤

love Hopper, and love this. Thanks for sharing

Great video! You should also make a video about Thomas Cole's painting The course of Empire. It always fascinated me how in scale his paintings are and particularly this one that has enormous details about the Roman empire.

And you did it again! Thanks, James.

Edward Hopper is my favorite artist because of this channel. Thank you. This video was amazing.

I always wanted to take art history in college, unfortunately, life went in a different direction. Your channel gave me new meaning to my hobby, thank you so much for making this channel.

oh my. you have really outdone yourself with this one. what an awesome video, i love it!

Fantastic Video. Edward Hopper is my favorite artist and your video about "Nighthawks" was my introduction to your channel and made me an instant subscriber. Film is the art form, that I most adore and love. Especially Hitchcock and Film Noir.

Amazing video! I wish we could have studied art this way in school. It comes alive in this format like nothing I've ever seen, even in museums. Thank You!

Didn't know Hopper is also a movie fan. Love this video!

Thank you! I've been waiting for the next episode of this series!

This one of the best and most insightful pieces I have ever seen on Hopper. As a painter I've always been inspired by his work and even reproduced a number of his paintings. He and I resonate!

I enjoyed this, thank you. It took me back to what I was reading at university when I did a fine art degree. I didn't get to explore it in depth during pre Internet days of spending long hours in libraries. However, I learned enough to develop a life- long interest in Hopper's art. Nowadays, the gaming youtubers talk about 'liminal spaces' in gaming design. I'm reminded by this of some of Hopper's themes .

This has become my favourite channel. Such a lot of work behind every video.

I’ve said this before, but i’m obsessed with your channel. Everything is on point. I’m always impressed by the music you choose. It’s almost as if it was created for the episodes. It’s great to see another video of Hopper work. He is one of my favourite artists amoung Beksiński and Wyspiański.

paint to film… this channel is the best..

Thank you for all the wonderful insights. I'm a great fan of Mad Men and in one way or the other, Hopper's paintings sometimes remind me of the atmosphere in that series.

This is the best channel on KZread. The quality of your content is absolutely superb.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Another amazing post. I never made the connection between Hopper paintings and cinema. I will never watch movies the same way again.

Your explanations of art make so many connections that have always been there, I just didn’t know what to look for. Thank you.

I love Hopper's pieces. Thanks for making this. I am happy we can have channels like yours here.

James, your channel is marvelous. You make such a great work, I'm sure it inspires thousands of people. Thank you for making our world much richer, full of colors of life

Fine job illustrating images side-by-side between Hopper's works and cinema!

Never knew cinema would take this much inspiration from an artist. Very interesting!

one of my favorite painter. and the painting is so smooth and soothing for me. not to mention that contrast is one of the best point of the painting style that i like

I'd never really heard of Hopper before your videos, and now I'm seeing how influential he is. This is my favorite video you've done. Just awesome info and connections I never knew of.

Love cinema, love your art analysis. But seeing the two combined in one of your videos is the best thing possible! Amazing work
