His earliest visit in 1912 was made in the company of fellow artist Leon Kroll. During his second visit to Cape Ann in 1923\, Hopper courted the young artist Josephine Nivison. He also began working in watercolor\, capturing the local landscape and architecture in loosely rendered\, light filled paintings. In 1924\, Hopper and Nivison who were newly married returned to Gloucester on an extended honeymoon and continued to explore the area by foot and streetcar. During his final two visits to the area\, in 1926 and 1928\, Hopper produced some of his finest paintings. This special walking tour will explore the neighborhood surrounding the Museum\, which includes many of the Gloucester houses immortalized by Hopper's paintings.\n\nImage credit: Edward Hopper\, American\, 1882-1967.
