8 HOPPER&THE HOPPERESQUE
Edward Hopper studied commercial illustration before studying Fine Arts, first with the Correspondence School of Illustrating in New York City (1899–1900) and then at the New York School of Art (1900–1906). In 1906 he worked part-time as an illustrator for the advertising agency of one of his former classmates, the illustrator Coles Phillips. There he tried to paint while working several days a week for trade magazines and fiction. He hated this work and in later life was reluctant to discuss it, even to the point of hiding his illustrations. Look carefully at the two illustrations on the next slide: are there noticeably ‘hopperesque’ elements in the two pictures? powerpoint presentation designed by ARNAUD ROY
