Selection of works by American painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967) set to the music of French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Debussy's Claire de Lune expresses so well what Hopper's paintings often depict: moments of quiet reflection, introspection, solitude, thoughtfulness..the human soul in repose.

  • what a wonderfull job Robert !! perfect music with perfect pictures, i'm a great fan of both two :)

    but... but.... how is it possible to exclude one of the famous ones : "Night Hawks" ????

  • @bossatonin : Thanks so much - and good point about Nighthawks! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a high quality digital image of that wonderful Nighthawks masterpiece online to put in my video. BTW: Your guitar playing is smooth!

  • Thanks everyone for your kind remarks - much appreciated! Robert

  • Meravigliosa l'armonia delle immagini di Hopper e la musica di Debussy... Un tocco di magia che ti cattura e ti fa sognare.... Adorabile...

  • Maravilloso !!!

  • ...Awesome combination...of Debussy and Hopper...

  • sunlitporch, thanks! Sometimes I seem to discern that Hopper's solitude goes even further, that he felt cut off from his fellow man. Plus it seems that his relation to women (including his wife) was a bit troublesome; perhaps he experienced their flirtations and found it difficult to react positively. Otherwise, Debussy sounds like a good foil for his tranquility.

  • bellissimo...........bravissim­a mio amore

  • Love this combination of beautiful music and evocative paintings!

  • Music is very well fitting for the paintings. E.H. was one of the greatest quintessential American artists of the 20the century, together with F.L. Wright and O'Keefe.

  • MAG-NI-FI-CO!!!!.
