Hopper: Captain Strout's House Print

As one of America's leading twentieth-century realists, Edward Hopper created watercolors as independent works of art. He painted watercolors on location, recording his subjects - mainly architecture and landscape - as he observed them.  Captain Strout's House, Portland Head incorporates two of Hopper's most notable architectural themes - lighthouses and houses.  Here Hopper was able to impart in watercolor the same solidity present in the opacity of his oil paintings.
