I actually read the hardcover version published by Alfred Knopf, though that edition in goodreads was missing an image so I'll log this one instead. A fantastic, slim volume with photographs Levin took of sites Hopper painted fifty years after he completed his paintings. Written in accessible language I loved how the book pored over ideas about what Hopper must have been thinking when he selected particular buildings, homes, structures to paint (he was super into a specific kind of roof - go figure). A lovely way to see an artist/scholar think through the eyes of another artist. Oh, to have someone that obsessed with my paintings! The full color plates are great, wish there were more!
