Excerpt from Alumnus Eric Hopkin’s New Book

DownEast Magazine featured an excerpt from Eric Hopkins: Above and Beyond by Carl Little in their most recent issue entitled “Man in Motion.”

“Among the most dramatic portraits is David Etnier’s photograph of Eric Hopkins, the Maine-born, world-eyed painter and glass artist. Hopkins is shown crouched, barefoot, on the top of a large canvas that is spread on the floor of an open-air studio space. He is in mid-stroke, creating that arcing landscape he grew up with on North Haven Island and which he has further explored by boat and plane….Hopkins can trace his artistic lineage to that movement: several of his professors at the Montserrat College of Art studied with Hans Hofmann, one of the gods of abstract expressionism.”
