Edward Hopper
Light at Two Lights, 1927

One of America’s best-loved painters, Edward Hopper has come to be recognized as one of the twentieth century’s greatest realists. For most of his roughly sixty-year career, Hopper divided his time between New York and New England, portraying the alienation of city life and the moodiness of the sea with equal force. Recollected images from his early trips to Europe and everyday scenes recorded during his later travels across the United States also appear in his work. All are depicted with an honesty and simplicity that few other artists have matched.
