human experience. So while his oeuvre officially falls within the rubric of
Realism, it offers a far more evocative look at life between the World Wars.
Indeed, by providing a minimum of action, stripping away almost any sign
of life or mobility, and adding dramatic means of representation with striking
lighting schemes in claustrophobic spaces, Hopper suggests something of the
psychological inner life of his subjects, leading the way towards Abstract
Expressionism. He injected significance, and the weight of the individual's
existential being in the modern metropolis or in country life, into what
otherwise might appear to be straight-forward images of everyday life."

A Soul Haunted By Painting 1/9

"A Soul Haunted By Painting" is based on the true
story of Chinese painter, Pan Yuliang, whose work
was celebrated in Paris yet rejected at home..."

"Pan Yuliang is played by Gong Li, China's best
known movie star. Directed by Huang Shuqin, a
woman famous for highlighting the influence of
tradition on gender issues, among the movie's
themes is the debate over the use of live, nude
models for painting, and issue first raised in the
1920s and still unsettled in China today."
