- Edward Hopper —who is known for his pictorial compositions reminiscent of film scenes and who inspired many filmmakers— went to the cinema himself very often. He also addressed cinema exteriors and interiors as a topic in some of his works. In the following, three central works on cinemas by Edward Hopper —The Sheridan Theatre (1937), The Circle Theatre (1936), and New York Movie (1939)— whose historical context has not yet been examined in detail will be analysed. With their sophisticated compositions, they are very illustrative of cinema history in particular and American history of the 1930s in general. Hopper draws attention to contemporary urban trouble spots for unrest enhanced by cheapening strategies in the film exhibition business. He also deals with the changed cinema experiences in the 1930s and deconstructs the glamour of the job of the usherette and exposes the alienation of their work.
Edward Hopper —muy conocido por sus composiciones artísticas que evocan típicas escenas de películas y que han inspirado a muchos cineastas— frecuentaba el cine muy a menudo y empleaba los exteriores e interiores del cine como tema principal de algunas de sus obras. A continuación, se analizarán tres obras icónicas sobre cines de Edward Hopper: The Sheridan Theatre (1937), The Circle Theatre (1936), and New York Movie (1939), cuyo contexto histórico aún no se ha examinado en detalle. Sus composiciones son muy sofisticadas e ilustrativas al mostrar la historia del cine y de la historia estadounidense de la década de 1930. Hopper llama la atención sobre los problemas urbanos contemporáneos sobre la inquietud por las estrategias de abaratamiento en el negocio de exhibición de películas. También muestra las experiencias cambiantes del cine en la década de 1930 y deconstruye el glamour del trabajo del acomodador y expone la alienación de su trabajo.
