In the acclaimed first edition ofHopper's Places, Gail Levin paired paintings by Edward Hopper with her photographs of the subjects of paintings done in New York and environs, Maine, Gloucester, and Cape Cod to demonstrate how Hopper made art of everyday scenes and how he sometimes made intentional changes from what he observed. For this new edition, Levin has added documentary photographs and Hopper's paintings of sites in Paris, where he painted for several years as a young man, Charleston, Mexico, and the western U.S. to give a broader view of the range of his work and the power with which he transformed his subjects while still remaining faithful to their essential features.

From Library Journal
Edward Hopper's paintings, and photographs of the sites on which they are based, are the focus of Levin's book. This comparative view illustrates Hopper's compositional approach, his use of cropping, his exaggeration of the vertical or horizontal elements, and his simplifications, which Levin details. Further, the photographs tell us about Hopper, his watercolor and oil technique, and his subject preferences. The photographs themselves, taken in most cases several decades after the paintings were made, are equally illustrative of America's changing landscape. Though Hopper's Places will appeal to scholars and fans, the content is rather limited. Other monographs, including Levin's own ( Edward Hopper: the art and the artist , LJ 10/1/80) are much more illuminating. Douglas G. Campbell, Ctr. for Fine Arts, Warner Pacific Coll., Portland, Ore.

Rene Gernand, New York Times Book Review
"A rare opportunity to ponder how Hopper made the ordinary extraordinary. . . . To compare photographs of unmemorable structures with the saturate, intensely lighted paintings (most from private collections) is to see how realism is much more than mere depiction. Gail Levin, the former curator of the Edward Hopper collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art, has done an invaluable service in this book."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
