    • In fact, art has been, during a long time the best way to express, to denounce or criticise.
  • We notably studied the power of art with Edward Hopper, who has been a famous American painter and printmaker.
    • He was born in 1882 and died in 1967, and during his 85 years of life; he painted many of works, which are today known as part of the discourse of anti-urbanism.
  • We notably studied 18 works and focus on 2 paintings, Approaching a city (1946) and Nightawks (1942) So, what extent those works contributed to the discourse of anti-urbanism ?
