"Informative, intelligent and visually rich, Hopper Drawing . . . offers an intimate view of Hopper at work that makes us see this doyen of American painters freshly—no small achievement."
—The Wall Street Journal
"A revelatory exhibition."
—The Dallas Morning News
Hopper Drawing: A Painter’s Process is the first museum exhibition to focus on the drawings and creative process of American artist Edward Hopper. The touring exhibition, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, features more than two hundred works by Hopper, including drawings, watercolors, prints, and paintings, and is drawn primarily from the Whitney Museum’s unparalleled holdings of the artist’s work. Hopper Drawing will bring together paintings with suites of related drawings, in some cases for the first time.
