Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper is an American realist painter, undisputed master of urban solitude and American light. His iconic work captures the isolation of the modern individual in scenes of late-night diners, empty hotel rooms, and sun-drenched Victorian houses, where geometric architecture and interplay of shadows create an atmosphere of contemplative silence. His spare compositions and dramatic use of natural light make him the quintessential painter of alienation and existential loneliness in 20th-century America.
