Edward Hopper
American, 1882–1967

Edward Hopper defined 20th-century realism with austere, eerie scenes that convey the isolation of modern life. He infused his paintings of spare architecture, desolate interiors, coastal views, and cityscapes with an appreciation of light and shade that contributes to a significant sense of alienation. In Hopper’s most famous painting, Nighthawks (1942), three customers sit at the counter of a well-lit diner while the streets outside remain dark and empty. After the artist received his first solo exhibition in 1920 at the recently opened Whitney Studio Club (a precursor to the Whitney Museum of American Art), he gained commercial and curatorial renown. In 1952, Hopper represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. His work has been acquired by such institutions as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art; on the secondary market, Hopper’s paintings have sold for multimillion-dollar prices.
