Edward & Josephine Nivison Hopper: Portrait Af A (Two-Artist) Marriage

The lectures will introduce us to Elizabeth Thompson Colleary's book on the Hopper marriage, which grew from more than two decades of research on Edward Hopper's images of women and the rediscovery of Josephine Nivison Hopper's work. Colleary wrote about her discovery of Jo Hopper's long-lost art for the Woman's Art Journal in 2004, and since then has located more of Jo's work and reconstructed her impressive artistic career. Recently, working with a private collector in Florida who was a Hopper family friend, Colleary discovered a trove of personal papers, and letters never seen by earlier Hopper scholars, which chronicle previously unknown romantic liaisons and shed new light on the work of both artists.

ELIZABETH THOMPSON COLLEARY taught Art History on the college level for 28 years. She has taught
at Scarsdale High School for the past ten years. She is a consultant at the Whitney Museum of American
Art where she was instrumental in the creation of the Hopper Research Collection in the Whitney Library.
