10. SOUNDBITE (French) Didier Ottinger, Curator of the Edward Hopper exhibition at the Grand Palais:
"The paradox of Hopper is that he has the reputation of being the most American artist when in fact what he shows is the other side of the American dream. America, it's the movement, the crowd, the absolute frenzied energy and Hopper, it's the loneliness, the immobility, it's the reflection, the meditation. And that has not always been seen."

"It is a criticism of the American society, the way it became. Hopper is a witness. He was born in 1882, he lives in a small city by the Hudson river and he witnesses this exceptionally quick transformation of the American society which, within a few decades, becomes the first industrial power."

STORYLINE:
A major retrospective of the famous American painter Edward Hopper will open to the public at the Grand Palais in Paris next week - a first in France.
Around 130 paintings and watercolours on display trace the evolution of Hopper's work, from the formative years between 1900-1925 to his mature years in the 1960s.
Didier Ottinger, the curator of the retrospective, spent three years organising and gathering Hopper's paintings from every corner of the United States and other locations for the exhibition.
Hopper's paintings are well-known for depicting the evolution of American society during the twentieth century.
"The paradox of Hopper is that he has the reputation of being the most American artist when in fact what he shows is the other side of the American dream. America, it's the movement, the crowd, the absolute frenzied energy and Hopper, it's the loneliness, the immobility, it's the reflection, the meditation. And that has not always been seen," Ottinger said.
"It is a criticism of the American society, the way it became. Hopper is a witness. He was born in 1882, he lives in a small city by the Hudson river and he witnesses this exceptionally quick transformation of the American society which, within a few decades, becomes the first industrial power" he added.
The Edward Hopper exhibition opens to the public on 10 October until 28 January 2013 at the National Galleries of the Grand Palais in Paris.
