Edward Hopper: A National Gallery of Art Presentation Reviews

this is a fine documentary on the artist giving a bit of insight into the periods that he worked and how he was likewise regarded. albeit, this film, at 30mins, is far too short to be thorough. therefore it ultimately leaves much to be desired. its a shame, since there is plenty of story to be told. here everything is done in "quick mention and move on to something else" style like an art appreciation class that is trying to cover the whole history of art, it skims and never develops into anything of much note.

worth watching but not owning. there is simply nothing to come back to see again. even the extras on this disc are slim; a gallery of his paintings in movie format (no control over switching from one to the next) with plain music.
