These are a couple of Edward Hoppers work, I’m looking at
his work because it was mentioned in a lecture, and I knew of it before hand
and particularly like his style of painting it’s very realistic, it to me makes
the image more engaging, make you able to prelate more with what is going on in
the paintings and get a better understanding for the emotions and ideas the
painters is trying to convey.
Hopper was trained by Robert Henri jurying 1900-06 after
that travelled to Europe several times, as well as being a painter he’s worked
as a commercial illustrator to earn a living but soon got wide spread recognition
as an American scene painter, a lot of Hoppers works convey loneliness and the
troubles of town life, as well as that most of the people in his works have a
look of loneliness, which is probably more of a comment about himself or the
state of city’s than the people them self’s.
