The current major exhibition at the
Drents Museum is Assen is "The American Dream", about American Realism in the years 1945-1965. This painting called "Morning Sun" from 1952 by
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is on the cover of the exposition's information leaflet. The model is Hopper's wife Josephine, bathed in the morning light, sitting on her bed gazing out at the city. It is one of Hopper's most famous paintings.
This piece from 1963 by
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) pictures
Ethel Scull. She and her husband Robert Scull were American art collectors. Ethel was also the subject of Warhol's "Ethel Scull 36 Times", a large work depicting Scull in 36 different poses.
The exhibition can be seen until the end of May.
Edward Hopper is echt een van mijn favorite schilders. Als het weer wat beter wordt zit een tochtje Assen er wel in.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI would love this exhibition. The years 1945 to 1965 were important. During that time I lived in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Scottsdale and Chicago. I graduated from high school, college and graduate school.
