David Hopper





David was born in America, New york. He was most popularly known for his oil paintings, he was known as a watercolorist and a print maker. In his early self portraits he tended to represent himself as a skinny, ungraceful and homely man.  David was quiet when he was a boy but he had a prank-ish sense of humor. He was inspired by writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He seems to focus on drawing women. He was inspired by Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas, modeling his work after them. His work seems very detailed and interesting, almost life like, he focus's on tone and texture. The paintings he produced all seem to look like concentrating, yet confused people.
