In 'From City to Coast,' Hopper is more than painter of urban loneliness
‘길 위에서'전, 도시의 고독 이상을 그린 화가 "호퍼" 보여줘


By Park Han-sol

Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is a painter whose art is as enigmatic as it is iconic.
에드워드 호퍼(1882-1967)의 작품은 시대를 대표하는 만큼 비밀스럽기도 하다.


His most celebrated masterpiece, "Nighthawks," captures the essence of urban loneliness through a hauntingly mysterious snapshot of a brightly-lit all-night diner in an otherwise deserted streetscape.
호퍼의 가장 유명한 걸작인 ‘밤을 지새우는 사람들(Nighthawks)'은 황량한 거리에서 밤새 밝게 빛나는 한 식당의 잊을 수 없도록 신비로운 순간을 통해 도시 속 고독의 본질을 포착한다.


While it was downtown New York that inspired Hopper the most, he trained his lens on such eerily quiet moments of solitude and detachment far from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis ― unpopulated streets and isolated figures in confined interiors.
호퍼에게 가장 큰 영감의 원천지는 뉴욕이었는데, 그는 대도시의 번잡함에서 떨어진 기이할 정도 조용한 고독함과 무심함의 순간들, 즉 인적이 드문 거리와 밀폐된 실내에서 고립된 인물 등에 초점을 맞췄다.


Little happens on his canvas, yet there is an understated tension that lies beneath.
호퍼는 캔버스에는 최소한을 표현하지만 기저에는 절제된 긴장감이 있다.


Yet, like any public icon, there is more to Hopper and his oeuvre than meets the eye ― as shown in "Edward Hopper: From City to Coast," a newly mounted exhibition at the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) in central Seoul.
그러나 서울시립미술관에서 개막한 전시인 ‘에드워드 호퍼: 길 위에서'에서 볼 수 있듯, 여느 대중적 아이콘과 마찬가지로 호퍼와 그의 작품에는 표면으로 드러나는 흔한 감상보다 심오한 의미가 있다.


Co-organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the world's largest holder of Hopper's works with over 3,100 pieces in its collection, this is Korea's first-ever showcase of the American realist master.
이번 전시는 3,100여 점의 호퍼 작품을 소장하고 있는 세계 최대의 뉴욕 휘트니미술관과 공동 기획했으며 미국의 사실주의 거장 호퍼의 한국 최초 회고전이다.


The excitement among the art lovers here seems palpable, as evidenced by the fact that a total of 100,000 early bird tickets released at a discount price since March 23 have already been sold out.
지난 3월 23일부터 할인된 가격으로 발매된 얼리버드 티켓 10만 장이 이미 매진된 것을 보면 미술 애호가들의 설렘이 손에 잡힐 듯하다.


Spanning all three floors of the museum, the major retrospective offers a peek into the artist's emblematic depiction of 20th-century Americana (and a bit of Paris) through some 160 oil paintings, watercolors, drawings and etchings, as well as 110 rarely-seen items dusted off from archives.
미술관 3층 전체에 걸친 대규모 회고전에서는 소장품에서 꺼내 온 보기 힘든 유화, 수채화, 드로잉 및 판화 등 자료 110여점을 통해 20세기 아메리카나(와 파리)에 대한 호퍼의 대표적인 묘사를 엿볼 수 있는 기회를 제공한다.
