New Dimensions Of Hopper’s Figurative Painting

Based on the context of postmodernism painting,this paper makes a study and analysis of the individual of American artist Hopper.As one of the most important artists in the United States in the 20th century.Hopper always adhered to the expression of figurative painting in the face of the busting western modern art trend in the 20th century.He depicted the daily cultural landscape of American cities with his unique observation perspective and imagination.creating a more profound artistic picture than reality.The expression of figurative painting is not unfamiliar to us,but hopper’s art works in the middle of the 20th century contain more contemporary and richer new connotations than traditional figurative painting.The artistic spirit contained in Hopper’s works is typical of postmodernism.The fragmented scenes,frozen and eternal moments,and familiar and unfamiliar perspectives in his eyes are enough to trigger people to stare at and think about the commonplace things again.Hooper’s figurative paintings convey a reflection and humanistic concern for modern society rather than reappearance,which makes his paintings have a new dimension different from traditional paintings.Hopper creates an art world with a life and order of its own,in which there are gentle stares,cold contemplation and grand silence in response to the gaze of others.In the wave of modernism,his unique painting style and artistic language left a strong mark on the art history of The United States and even the world.
