EDWARD HOPPER (American, 1882-1967) drew realist scenes of modern American life, in rural and urban settings. He struggled as an artist and finally started to see some success just as the depression was about to hit. He was described as quiet, stoic, fatalistic, and introverted. His paintings are meticulously constructed with shadows and sunlight, color, geometrical design, and a careful placement of figures. They contain a longing melancholy, an emptiness, and a feeling of aloneness.
