Edward Hopper (1882-1967)
Edward Hopper, recognized as a pivotal figure in 20th-century American art, masterfully captured the essence of urban solitude. His canvases often depict cityscapes, rooftops, and deserted structures bathed in a distinct light that contrasts with the melancholic atmosphere. Hopper's distinctive style features bold color juxtapositions and sharp outlines, separating figures from their environments. His precise focus on modern individuals within both natural and built settings can evoke a sense of unease, yet his renderings of coastal scenes and landscapes in warm tones reveal a more tranquil and optimistic perspective.
