Loneliness is an emotional reaction to the absence of human company. This is very different from aloneness which, in the nature of the individuals we are, is a given state. It's hard to say exactly what Hopper was trying to capture but he conveys separateness from a world dominated by objects, whether of nature or of human construction or, indeed, others.
The loneliness is brought into relief by placing isolated human figures inside while the outside intrudes into and is made part of the inside. The fundamental distinction introduced into the world by architecture i.e. inside vs. outside, was Hopper's life-long preoccupation. When a painting presents inside only, it is usually the inside of public space with islands of privacy - hotel lobbies, movie theaters, restaurants, etc.
I've always admired his work, I love the strong sunshine against the deepest shadows and the really unusual perspectives like he's viewing from a neighbouring roof top
Let me tack on an additional critique. Give the video a proper end or outro. It just came to an abrupt stop and left me thinking "wheres the rest of the video?"
I think it's not just loneliness; his narrative of isolation within modern human structures, as well as isolation within constructs of relationships between subjects depicted gives a more nuanced idea of him as opposed to just deeming it loneliness. There is an inherent and unspoken brutality of human flesh enveloped by concrete, metal and glass.
"Loneliness" never seemed to capture nearly the full depth of the inner state his paint portrays. Forlorn is closer to it. His people and his places are of a kind, and more than merely lonely, to me. They are depictions of the moments, the time, following something, a long forgotten or buried memory?-- that has made even buildings and the sun hit "pause". The smallness of who we are has just hit home.
There are a lot of adjectives you could use to describe his work but I agree that forlorn is a good one. Morose, melancholic, nostalgic, a pregnant pause etc all can be applied. Such a great artist
It does depend on whether or not you're neuro typical. I really feel from what I have read and heard he may very well have been on the spectrum. That's why his work appeals so much to me.
At 7:40 the music completely ruined this video. It blew out the narration 100%. Why don't people proof read their work before they post. I don't get it.

I see heartbreaking loneliness in his work . I adore him and his paintings .

His art literally makes me cry
True👌🏻🙏🏻🥹🫀🫀🫀 but at the same time love him ❤️ ❤️🔥❤️🔥♾️👌🏻🙏🏻😘
There’s a soothing quietness about his paintings 🖼️; almost like he’s painting a passing time!🤓
i think Alone better than Lonliness....where one choses to be alone..to contemplate, to think... really enjoyed this..thanks

Architecture divides& conquers❤❤
Nice video essay. If I may offer one critique... the music is louder than the dialogue and gets distracting at points. Thanks for making and sharing!
I agree. The music should be complementary and not distract from the speaker. Otherwise, an excellent take on an American treasure, Edward Hopper.
the overpowering music IS beautiful. the painting IS beautiful. and perhaps the narration was beautiful.
Yeah you’re right. It’s a constructive point.

@@UnrealNuminapretty much like an hopper painting…

why they gotta do my boy hopper like that. his work is great
Timeless.
Feeling alone makes me wanna cry but I can't force myself and it's just natural.
You have a wonderful voice for narration! Really enjoyed this.
Well done, Fuller. Do more.
i love Hopper's paintings.
Idealnie potrafił nadać światłu porę dnia i miejsce na Ziemi.
So great 🫶🏻🧠❤️🔥🙏🏻😘✨️
The first painting remind me of haruki murakami novels, i wonder if Edward Hooper had any influence on his works...
I dunno, but I feel freedom, looking at his paintings.
This narration is fucking fire
i loved it, keep on the amazing work bro!
Someone needs to remix their sounds. The narration gets swamped by the background at around 7:45.
if only u had a version of this written down on some random website then i could use it for my essay
The music is so loud in some places!!
It's not loneliness it's peacefulness. No one sees it.
I feel the loneliness more than the peace. It could be me though recognizing a personal experience. Perhaps it is in the eye of the beholder.

Thank you. Often background music gets too loud and makes the narrator's voice unhearable.
What I don’t like about the video is the cutting or cropping of the paintings other tan that great work!

Where is the music from?
great video! what’s the music?
April- Thomas Newman ( revolutionary Road movie _
Too much on Rothko; it's not an apt comparison, and Hopper railed against abstraction.
🥀 🔥
turn the music down when you're talking ffs
Talk louder man, cannot hear you thru the music
Work on your English comprehension. His voice volume is fine. The music should be turned down.
