    Shedding the Poet's Light of Hopper's Use of Artistic Light!
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013*

Mark Strand is a prose poet extraordinaire who I enjoy in reading his insightful prose in f poetic form.  When I saw that he had a book in which he reviews the works of my most favorite American artist in Edward Hopper, I just had to delve into this work. Strand notes Hopper's use of light in all his painting, something that I was well aware of before I read this book.  He expands on Hopper's use of light and his use of painting of subjects that are inside and in many cases looking onto the outside world.  Many of the people used in Hopper's paintings are looking outward outside the canvas sightlines which Strand notes on many of the paintings where the human subject is prevalent.  He notes the total indifference of the subjects in the painting in which they are concerned only in their world. Strand also notes that Hopper uses in his paintings the mysteries of what lies beyond his triangular spatial picture.  One always looks at a Hopper painting and wonders what lies beyond the art we see in front of us.  The lines which lead down the road of things not seen in the painting prove to be a mystery which Hopper creates.  Just what does lie beyond the sight lines of the painting?  The way Hopper uses light, his constant creation of looking from the outside inward and the sense of solitude are explained in detail by Strand. With Strand, we can look at the paintings of Hopper in a visceral form and see the uses of light, loneliness and a complete sense of calmness and solitude.  Hopper uses the basic tenants of everyday life and shows to all that solitude and introspective thought in a good and calming way of viewing life in general. Strand studies the simplest nuances of Hopper's offerings and simply tells a basic and good way of looking at art.  Strand does this without the extravagant intellectual exercises which neither helps the art student nor serves to merely confuse the student in the real intentions offered by the artist. Mark Strand breaks down the basics of the art style in which Hopper had developed over much of the 20th century.  We see from Strand the innermost workings of the mindset of a great American artist.

    A Poets Ruminations
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2006*

This is not a book for anyone seeking information on life and/or the works of the great Americn painter, Edward Hopper. Pictures are all in black and white, while few facts about his life ae given.This is a book solely for the person sufficiently familiar with the artists work to appreciate this outstanding poets reflections on the impact of some of his paintings and some fearures in the picture which produce those effects.Most will find little meat for thought here. Most will find these minimal responses unsatisfying. Those who know the poetry of this Pulitzer prize winning Poet Laureate of The United state will gain some insight into the workings of his poetic perspective when turned on the subject of Hopper's painting.Others who want to tune in to a poetic sensibility writing prose may find it gratifying.It is a very quick read with each selection taking no more than a few minutes to read although those who want to apply Strand's conceptions to their own appraisal of these works will find much more to chew over.

That Mark Strand is a terrific poet is not breaking news, but what may surprise some are his insights into Hopper's paintings. But first: the book is gorgeous. The reproductions alone are worth the cost. But Strand's explications of the works are the best I've read. He is lucid and precise. I actually became excited as I would read a passage and then apply it to the painting juxtaposed against Stand's prose. Not as excited as seeing a Hopper in the Smithsonian's Gallery West, but excited nevertheless. Fans of either Strand or Hopper will embrace the book. Fans of both want to send me large amounts of money for recommending HOPPER.
