Edward Hopper (1882–1967) was a prominent American realist painter known for his iconic and evocative depictions of urban and rural scenes. He is celebrated for his ability to capture a sense of solitude, introspection, and the quiet moments of everyday life.Hopper's works often feature solitary figures, empty cityscapes, and atmospheric lighting. His paintings are characterized by their use of light and shadow to create a sense of mood and emotion. Through his art, Hopper conveyed a feeling of loneliness and a sense of detachment, often exploring themes of isolation and the modern urban experience.Some of his most famous paintings include:1. **"Nighthawks" (1942):** Perhaps his most iconic work, "Nighthawks" depicts a late-night diner with three customers and a server. The scene, illuminated by the diner's interior lights, conveys a sense of urban isolation and a feeling of emptiness.2. **"Automat" (1927):** This painting features a lone woman sitting in a well-lit automat, evoking a sense of solitude and introspection.3. **"Early Sunday Morning" (1930):** The painting captures a quiet street scene in the early morning light, emphasizing the contrast between the quiet street and the bustling city beyond.Hopper's ability to capture the emotional complexity of human experience within ordinary settings has made his work enduring and influential. His unique style and his exploration of themes such as alienation, introspection, and the interplay of light and shadow have left a lasting impact on the art world. Hopper's contributions to American realism continue to be studied and appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.Measures 38 x 26.3.

A first-edition hardback copy of the biography James Dean: The Mutant King (Straight Arrow Books, 1974) by David Dalton that was personally owned by Dennis Hopper. The book is vividly written and helped reignite the Dean cult and cement his reputation as a defining figure of the counterculture. Hopper starred alongside Dean in two films Rebel Without a Cause (Warner Brothers, 1955) and Giant (Warner Brothers, 1956) and was interviewed for Dalton's book. Hopper provided a quote that has often been used to sum up Dean's appeal ever since: "...in this hand, I'm holding Marlon Brando saying 'Fuck you!' and in the other hand saying 'Please forgive me,' is Mongromery Clift...And somewhere in between is James Dean."Together with a paperback copy of John Steinbeck's East of Eden (Bantam, 1962), which provided the source material for Dean's first major film role. 6.5 x 9.5 inches, largestPROVENANCE Property from the Life and Career of Dennis Hopper
A black and white photograph of actor James Dean playing bongo drums in a field of cows and pigs that was signed, numbered, and gifted to Dennis Hopper by its photographer Dennis Stock. The photograph is signed and numbered 70 in ink in the lower right. The photograph is in a silver-tone metal frame.Stock took the photograph of Dean in February 1955 at the farm on which he was raised by his uncle and aunt in Fairmount, Indiana. Stock was on assignment by Life magazine to chronicle Dean on his rise to fame in an article that would be titled "Moody New Star." Hopper costarred in two films with Dean, Rebel Without a Cause (Warner Brothers, 1955) and Giant (Warner Brothers, 1955), and looked up to the actor, who died tragically in an automobile accident in 1955, as a role model throughout the rest of his life.Behind the photograph in the frame is a plastic sleeve containing a small black and white photo of an unidentified man, possibly a relative of Hopper's, next to a prayer card printed with the Saint Francis prayer for peace.15 x 13 x .5 inchesPROVENANCE Property from the Life and Career of Dennis Hopper
A black and white glossy photograph of James Dean taken by Dennis Stock that belonged to Dennis Hopper. The actor is seen posing in a cemetery next to his young cousin Marcus Winslow near a tombstone engraved with the name Cal Dean. The significance of the photo, taken in the actor's hometown Fairmount, Indiana in February 1955, is that Dean played a character named Cal in the film East of Eden (Warner Brothers, 1955), which would be released the next month. There are several notes written on the back of the photograph. One written in ink reads, "1 time use only © Dennis Stock." One written in pencil reads in part, "I don't want to / hear about you / I want to hear / from you... / Love / Cat." Another written in pencil reads in part, "Bonjour Dennis / Thought you / might like to have / this photo - it made me / think of something from / 'King of the Mountain.' / What's happening with / 'Out of the Blue'? / Fabriano Caonsa / is ready to / open it in / his / theatre / in N.Y."Hopper costarred in two films with Dean, Rebel Without a Cause (Warner Brothers, 1955) and Giant (Warner Brothers, 1955), and looked up to the actor, who died tragically in an automobile accident in 1955, as a role model throughout the rest of his life.10 x 8.25 inchesPROVENANCE Property from the Life and Career of Dennis Hopper

A watercolor painting on paper that was created and signed by Dennis Hopper, circa 1960. The painting is an abstract impressionistic portrait of a face in shades of brown, green, orange, red, and yellow. Hopper wrote his name in the lower right. This is the earliest known surviving painting created by Hopper.Besides his prolific acting, directing, and writing careers and acclaimed photography, Hopper was also considered a talented painter, whose paintings were exhibited in galleries around the world. He'd later become a formidable collector, who helped launch the careers of many artists, including Andy Warhol, Julian Schnabel, and Roy Lichtenstein. Hopper developed an appreciation for the artform and began to paint as a young boy. Shortly before the Bel Air Fire of 1961 burned his house down and destroyed all of his early paintings and photographs, he sent this portrait to his brother David as a gift. 15 x 18 inchesPROVENANCE From the Collection of David Hopper
A limited edition Ed Ruscha Twentysix Gasoline Stations ground-breaking artist book (Cunningham Press / National Excelsior Press, 1962) inscribed to Dennis Hopper in ink by Ruscha. The book contains the artist's iconic gasoline station photographs, with the inscription reading: "Hello / Dennis / Ed / Ruscha / 1963." This is copy number 35 of 400.American Pop artist Ruscha was initially fascinated by cartooning as a young boy in Nebraska. He went on to study visual art at the Couinard Art Institute (now CalArts) in Southern California with abstract expressionist Emerson Woelffer and others. He then worked doing layouts at an advertising agency in the early 1960s, during which time he became known around Los Angeles for his collages, paintings, and photography.Twentysix Gasoline Stations was Ruscha’s first artist book and a prominent early influence on the genre’s development and artist’s book culture in general (some might argue it was the first modern artist book). The small volume contains 26 banal photographs of gas stations, images indelibly linked with his sensibility as an artist.It was via Ruscha's association with the Ferus Gallery that he came into contact with Hopper, the pair quickly forming a friendship that spanned many forms of creation and artistic exchange. Hopper would take Ruscha’s portrait in 1964 and Ruscha would hang a painting of the word “if” made by Hopper in his studio and make his first sale of art to him as well (a large painting of a Standard gas station and one of his most characteristic images). Ruscha served as a pallbearer at Hopper’s funeral in 2010.Writing on the Royal Academy of Arts blog in 2014, Ruscha said of Hopper: “I would rarely see Dennis without his favourite camera, a 35mm Nikon. He would point it in almost any direction and find a suitable Dennis Hopper subject. So his focus was on anything and everything of interest. Through his eyes I see a virtual dictionary of the city of Los Angeles. He approached his photographs as a sort of wandering of the soul, followed by the familiar ka-chunk of the Nikon.”5.5 x 7.5 inchesPROVENANCE Property from the Life and Career of Dennis Hopper
