Topsfield, 1929 (Edward Hopper Drawing)

Page history last edited by abrandenburg@mvlc.org 5 years, 10 months ago

Topsfield, 1929In 1929, Edward Hopper (1882-1967) created a conte and charcoal drawing entitled Topsfield. Hopper and his wife Josephine visited Topsfield during the summer of 1929, on a trip from New York to Maine.  They stayed at the home of Samuel and Anne Tucker, who were “mutual acquaintances of Bee Blanchard, the decorator who had been buying Hoppers since his first show with Rehn” (Levin, p. 223).


The drawing measures 15 x 22 inches, and was included in a major bequest to the Whitney Museum of Art, several years after Hopper’s death.
