Exhibitions

In the America of the years of the Wall Street crisis and the New Deal, he faced everyday life with a gaze that tried to search for meaning. We are talking about Edward Hopper (1882-1967), the great American realist painter, to whom the Rimini Meeting dedicated an exhibition in 2006 that is now being proposed again in the city's historic centre.
Focusing on the artist's main works, the exhibition illustrates Hopper's poetics, emphasising his links with philosophy (Emerson) and poetry (Verlaine, Goethe, Frost).
At the same time, the American landscape of his years is taken as a reference, with parallels and examples in the fields of photography and film.
The exhibition, divided into 36 panels, was curated by Elena Pontiggia in collaboration with Paola Bacuzzi, Silvia Banzatti, Andrea Bonalume, Gabriele Cantoni, Camillo Fornasieri, Miriam Melzi and Marco Vianello, with graphic design by Sabrina Toni, and provides a comprehensive look at the life and work of the artist born in New York State on the banks of the Hudson River.
