La Toile Blanche d'Edward Hopper plot

The documentary focuses on Hopper's life in twentieth-century America. The film paints a portrait of an emphatically independent artist who did not want to be pigeonholed, in an artistic climate that regarded figurative and abstract painting as absolute opposites. His tranquil but nevertheless often slightly disturbing scenes, in which light and shadow play a major role and in which modern man is depicted as an isolated, melancholy being, were an inspiration for directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Wim Wenders, Herbert Ross, David Lynch and others. .
