On this day, the 15th May in 1967, US painter, Edward Hopper died at the age of 82. Born in New York in 1882 Hopper made solitude his life’s work. Unusually for an artist, his history is not fraught with exceptional drama or tragedy, however very typically for an artist he did suffer with depression through much of his life. Unable to find work early in his career, his painting languished. He wrote, "it's hard for me to decide what I want to paint. I go for months without finding it sometimes. It comes slowly."
