Did You Know Edward Hopper Rode the Rails to Gloucester, MA?

Edward Hopper frequently travelled by public rail from his home and studio in New York City to travel to Gloucester, with his first visit in 1912. Disembarking from the train at the Gloucester station, he would walk straight to lodgings downtown on Middle Street. He would spend days walking the area sketching and painting. Regular trolley schedules to Gloucester neighborhoods beyond downtown were as easy as taking the El or the subway for this seasoned city dweller. Hopper clearly used any public staircases and right of ways. Turn around from one of his Gloucester views and there's likely to be the same stone steps, sidewalk, or giant granite boulder that he climbed in his time. In 1928, his last summer in Gloucester, he owned a car, a benefit from the great response and sales of his magnificent 1920s Gloucester works.

There are 100+ Hopper Gloucester works. Many of them encircle the perimeter of, and points within, Gloucester's downtown. Gloucester’s HarborWalk, an award-winning public access route throughout our historic downtown opened in the summer of 2012. Designed by Cambridge Seven Associates, the HarborWalk follows nearby many of these Gloucester Hopper sites, and makes it possible to experience Gloucester as Hopper and others did—-by train and on foot.

Address: Hopper did drawings of the Henry Ford including one with figures watching the vessel for this etching. The fishing schooner was built to race and, hopefully, best the Canadian Blue Nose (no but it did win other races). There were several international races. Hopper did other etchings in 1923 that weren't Gloucester such as the Locomotive and the Lonely House. Yet they were similar subjects--trains/domiciles-- that he'd focus on in Gloucester.

Edward Hopper. Second Story Sunlight. 1960. Oil on canvas. Private collection. Three decades after Gloucester works, see Hopper's iconography such as double architecture/landscape horizontal/trees/Jo. Location too is composite; this is not one specific place as with some of his work from earlier decades--rather composite of all and/or imagined.

EDWARD HOPPER IN GLOUCESTER, MA

"Hopper's pictures synthesize myriad observations in a way that eludes the single photograph," Gail Levin

Gail Levin laid the foundation for subsequent contemporary study of Edward Hopper. She documented photos since the 1970s of side-by-side comparisons of Hopper places with Hopper works. She did complete catalogue raisonnees for all the media while a curator for the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Some of Hoppers images are composites. His wife, artist Jo Nivison, when asked to identify the specific house for a painting remarked: "He did it out of his head. He had seen so many of them." She also added to his Artist-Ledger books approximate dates when they were painted in the studio in part to underscore this point.

1923 was Gloucester's tercentenary. If you were an artist back then, the social media of the time beckoned you to Gloucester for possible exhibits, audience, commissions, and sales. Hopper's prints infused his signature style by the time he came back to Gloucester in 1923. He mastered light long before.

Hopper had champions before coming to Gloucester including: Guy Pene du Bois, Lloyd Goodrich, John Sloan, George Bellows (who bought Haskell's House from the important Rehn show after Hopper's 1923 Gloucester output), Martin Lewis, and his wife and fellow Robert Henri student, Jo.

In MA, stop into the Cape Ann Museum and the MFA for more, and visit Truro on the other Cape. Other curators, historians, and writers include: Virginia Mecklenburg, David Kiehl, Barbara Haskell, Avis Berman, Adam Weinberg, curators from the Art Institute and MFA, and Carl Little.

Most structures that Hopper painted are still standing and catalogue the rich architectural legacy all around us. So many homes and places in Gloucester exhibit Hopper like details: double chimneys, double frames, bays or doors, arched windows, repeated dormers, mansard or slanted roofs.
