Answer 1

Edward Hopper is one of the most famous American painters of the twentieth century. Edward Hopper was not just an objective realist but he dealt with emotion and mood, trying to show strong person frame of mind or "mood" often more important to him then the narrate imagery. During the time when he was working and selling his work he was pretty successful. His early years as an artist, Hopper had a hard time being accepted by art buyers and critics. Not until 10 years later would his art and fame began to grow. In 1913, when Hopper was 31 years old had his first exhibit at the Armory Show. Where he sold his first painting for around $30 to $45 dollars. Hopper sold his second painting in 1923 when he was 41 years old. This painting was a watercolor. After this point, we begin to see Hoppers popularity growing and a few years later Hopper has is first solo show in Rehn Gallery in New York City, were it was sold out!

"This time in America history the dollar was worth more, so keep that in mind when reading."

The average price's on his paintings in the earlier part of the 20th century "middle and later part of the 1920's and 1940's", varied between $100 to $300 dollars dependent on the painting. As well in the 1950's Hopper sold a paintings around 6,000 to 7,000 dollars… And at this point Hopper was viewed as a big time artist in American and very soon the world. After the 1950's his paintings became very price and closer to 1/4 of a million. Now, Hopper's average prices rang today varies form painting to painting but the upper wards of $30 million dollars and up. Hoppers paintings are made legendary by the solitude and self-introspection of a culture, which is now thought of as one of the most accurate and honest descriptions of American culture and art of the 20th century.
