Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was an American realist painter known for his depictions of urban and rural scenes. He was born in Nyack, New York, and studied at the New York School of Art. Hopper's work often conveyed a sense of isolation and alienation, with his iconic paintings such as "Nighthawks" capturing the stark beauty of everyday life. His use of light and shadow created a mood of quiet contemplation in his art. Hopper's unique style made him a leading figure in 20th-century American art, influencing generations of artists to come.
