Edward Hopper
Nighthawks
1942
first impressions:
when I first saw this picture i liked it a lot because it had colors that were not
right in your face they were toned down a bit. I also liked the story that it makes
of some people at night in a bar/diner. I like how he uses value to show what time
of dayit is. if you look at the windows in the background you can just barly see the outline
of the stores and the lights are all turned off which shows that it is night time.
what I learned:
this painting is one of the most well known peice of art made by Edward Hopper.
he made this after the attack on pearl harbor. after this event there was a feeling
of gloominess which is portrayed in this painting.
