Miggs Burroughs, "The Hoppers"
This week’s Fan Art is by Miggs Burroughs whose fascinating lenticular image, titled “The Hoppers,” combines the self portraits of both Jo and Edward Hopper. His work is featured along with 49 artists in our Artist Members Open Call Exhibition through May 26.
A lifelong fine artist and designer based in Westport CT, Miggs’ photography and illustration gained international recognition, including covers for TIME Magazine and a display of lenticular images at the United Nations headquarters at the end of 2023. If there is an underlying theme to his work it can best be characterized as a study and celebration of our shared humanity.
Part II of the exhibition will feature 50 additional Artist Members’ work on view May 30 - June 16, 2024. All featured artists’ artwork is available for sale on our website. https://www.edwardhopperhouse.org/artist-members.html

Foster is a renowned Hopper scholar and curator, who organized a groundbreaking exhibition of Hopper’s work at the Whitney Museum.
As part of our 50th Anniversary in 2021, we premiered conversations that offered exciting, new perspectives on Edward Hopper.
This virtual program, in conversation with Peabody award-winning host, Elliott Forrest, included notable Artists and Collaborators.

Using period photographs and the extensive records that Hopper’s drawings provide of his creative process, Foster looks at how Hopper’s concrete experiences of the city turned into the poetic and haunting paintings that have so captured the popular imagination and continue to fascinate us today.
