Cover Art for Litro 94

Spanish and Catalan issue

Cover art by Edward Hopper, the American Realist artist. This issue contains poems from Ernest Farrés’ Edward Hopper, which relate to his paintings, capturing the stories being told within them.

Hopper was best known for his oil paintings, but was an equally talented as a watercolorist, printmaker and illustrator.  His work reflected his personal vision of modern American life but with a strong European artistic influence, realistically depicting urban and rural scenes which referenced both natural and modern man-made structures and lifestyle, combining  a sense of geometry and the careful placement of the human figure with an almost cinematic use of light and shadow.
