Just a light thread:
We have an Edward Hopper calender this year. I noticed first that his compositions are interesting. They often have strong lines that meet at a central figure, but that (human) figure is often drawn clumsily.
At first we thought that Hopper couldn't draw women, perhaps because of some lack of interest. His background curves are more sensual than his women. Then we saw that his males were just as bad.
There's often a sense of figures alone-together in a setting that makes them sort of forlorn or insignificant.
Hitler, also, couldn't draw people.
Can any artists here shed some light on Hopper and on the lore of drawing human figures?
