Abstract

KURTINAITIS, Marcos. Edward Hopper and the cinematographic image. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.51, pp. 161-176. ISSN 0101-3106.

In this article, the author sets out to expose and analyze the relationship of mutual influence between the work of American painter Edward Hopper and film. The transposition of his themes and stylistic elements to some movies is discussed, as well as the role of his painting in the setting of an iconography of American reality also reproduced by cinema. A more detailed comparison is made between elements of the work of Hopper and that of filmmakers Wim Wenders and Michelangelo Antonioni. Finally, the article discusses the relevance of the classification of Edward Hopper as a realist painter, highlighting the implications of such a statement as well as considerations about realism in the cinema and the emergence of psychological elements in the paintings of Hopper.

Keywords : Arts; Painting; Cinema; Edward Hopper; Michelangelo Antonioni; Wim Wenders; Realism; Surrealism.
