Methods are transient: personality is enduring  (Edward Hopper Quotes) In general it can be said that a nation’s art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.  (Edward Hopper Quotes) So many people say painting is fun. I don’t find it fun at all. It’s hard work for me.  (Edward Hopper Quotes) It’s to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that’s my method.  (Edward Hopper Quotes) The idea (for the painting ‘Room in New York’, 1932, ed.) had been in my mind a long time before I painted it. It was suggested by glimpses of lighted interiors seen as I walked along city streets at night, probably near the district where I live (Washington Square, New York, fh) although it’s no particular street or house, but is really a synthesis of many impressions  (Edward Hopper Quotes) The question of the value of nationality in art is perhaps unsolvable  (Edward Hopper Quotes) What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house  (Edward Hopper Quotes) There is a sort of elation about sunlight on the upper part of a house  (Edward Hopper Quotes) The only real influence I’ve ever had was myself  (Edward Hopper Quotes) More of me comes out when I improvise  (Edward Hopper Quotes) No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination  (Edward Hopper Quotes) I find linseed oil and white lead the most satisfactory mediums  (Edward Hopper Quotes) If I had the energy, I would have done it all over the county  (Edward Hopper Quotes) I think that zinc white has a property of scaling and cracking  (Edward Hopper Quotes) If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint  (Edward Hopper Quotes) I have tried to present my sensations in what is the most congenial and impressive form possible to me  (Edward Hopper Quotes) Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world  (Edward Hopper Quotes) I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions  (Edward Hopper Quotes) I find in working always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision, and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds  (Edward Hopper Quotes) Hopper is simply a bad painter, but if he were a better one, he would probably not be such a great artist  (Edward Hopper Quotes) The only quality that endures in art is a personal vision of the world. Methods are transient: personality is enduring  (Edward Hopper Quotes) 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!  (Edward Hopper Quotes) To me the most important thing is the sense of going on. You know how beautiful things are when you’re traveling  (Edward Hopper Quotes) Yes, linseed oil. I used to use poppy oil, but I have heard that poppy oil is given to cracking pigment too, so I use it no longer  (Edward Hopper Quotes) I guess I’m not very human. All I really want to do is paint light on the side of a house  (Edward Hopper Quotes) So many people say painting is fun. I don’t find it fun at all. It’s hard work for me  (Edward Hopper Quotes) Well, I’ve always been interested in approaching a big city in a train, and I can’t exactly describe the sensations, but they’re entirely human and perhaps have nothing to do with aesthetics  (Edward Hopper Quotes) There will be, I think, an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods, together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions  (Edward Hopper Quotes) The trend in some of the contemporary movements in art, but by no means all, seems to deny this ideal and to me appears to lead to a purely decorative conception of painting  (Edward Hopper Quotes) It’s to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that’s my method  (Edward Hopper Quotes)
