Abstract

The relationship between Edward Hopper and cinema has been cited by various historians over the years. One could argue that his work drinks in essence the art of filmmaking so the large field of expression that gives the subtle cinematic language, will be translated into his canvases. Also, due to the emphasis and importance on the location of the viewer, the composition of the scenes, the placement of the characters and lighting, numerous films and, specifically, the film Shirley: visions of reality of Gustav Deutsch directly part of his work, are related to its aesthetic and/or theme, for this reason, its production could get to interpret by means and through cinema.
