Hopper’s remarkable following did not encourage him to speed up the production of his art. He painted slowly, sometimes completing only one or two paintings a year. As we have seen, his art was the end product of a long and conscientious process, a composite of many sketches, a synthesis of his inner experience. But his deliberate and selfcritical work has produced magnificent fruits of his labor. “Few living painters have produced so little in so long a time and very few have been able to give to each work such distinct and vivid individuality. Behind this selfdiscipline and technical accomplishment there stands a gentle, a modest, a noble man. Americans may well be proud of Edward Hopper.”8
