Edward Hopper Painting Quotations

My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impression of nature.

Well, I have a very simple method of painting.

Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.

When I don't feel in the mood for painting I go to the movies for a week or more. I go on a regular movie binge!

This direction is sterile and without hope to those who wish to give painting a richer and more human meaning and a wider scope.
