La Toile blanche d'Edward Hopper

Painted in 1942 by American artist Edward Hopper, "Nighthawks" has become a symbol of American culture through the many reproductions and representations it has inspired, particularly in film.
This documentary reveals the keys to understanding the work, by re-establishing it in its social and cultural context, and bears witness to Hopper's fierce independence as a painter well aware of the artistic stakes of his time, split between realism and abstraction. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)
