Hopper: Writers on Art (Writers on Art)

Rating:
Summary: Lucid, dense, great.
Review: Far more than just about Hopper and his paintings. Strand uses the paintings -- and the emotional effects carried out as a result of their geometry -- as a case study in how an artist uses negative space and suggestion to create pathos. If I were teaching creative writing, or any kind of creative art, I would have my students read and re-read this book.
