Edward Hopper frequently chose houses as the subjects of his paintings, each with their own distinct personalities; little characters in quiet, still, seemingly timeless and immutable tableaus. Hopper regularly insisted his paintings were a straightforward representation of the real world, but they seem to be loaded with feelings of nostalgia, yearning, and loneliness. Each image feels like a still, distant, but poignant memory.
