Edward Hopper is widely acknowledged as the most important realist painter of twentieth-century America. His depiction of American life, represented by evocative imagery, explores aloneness as proof of belonging. With subjects ranging from diners, hotel lobbies, offices, and theaters in New York City to country houses, churches, seascapes, and main streets of rural New England, Hopperโs work cleverly uses light with cinematic effect, never quite telling the full story.
