Edward Hopper's Class Reunion
Join Edward Hopper for a 108th class reunion at the New York School of Art. Marvel at the art and at the zest for life of his teachers Robert Henri (often called the Father of American Realist Art) and John Sloan, and of his classmates George Bellows, Rockwell Kent and Guy Pene du Bois, all of whom quickly made names for themselves in the New York art scene. They were the hares, while Hopper was the tortoise — at the age of 41, he had sold only one painting. The works of these seven celebrated American artists are a feast for the eyes. Your guide will be Lenora Mamunes, a trustee at the Edward Hopper House Art Center and the author of the Edward Hopper Encyclopedia (2011).
