Edward Hopper portrayed the double act of looking by incorporating different artistic elements to express the feeling of loneliness based on the reality of American society in the 20th century. The uses of double act of looking in his three paintings Room in Brooklyn, Morning Sun, and Office in a small city in order to criticize the drawbacks of reality of 20th century America and to allow his viewers to perceive these drawbacks as well.

Hopper uses multiple elements, such as color contrast, lighting effects and shading, to show the realism of the painting. Hopper often used oil paints, which have noticeably more depth in them than other kinds of paints like water colors. From the color…

Edward Hopper is a famous American realist painter, who was able to express the feelings and sentiments of everyday life in his oil on canvas art. Hence, Room in Brooklyn (1932) showcases what life was like for many Americans during the Great Depression by means of a solitary female figure. At first glance, one depicts a woman, sitting with her back turned towards the viewer and overlooking a tall red brick building through a glass window.

Crewdson mentions in In a Lonely Place, the work of Edward Hopper, with whom I feel the same kinship with as I do with Crewdson himself. Crewdson enlightens us on how Hopper's narratives are told “in a single picture,” depicting “impregnated moments: the images seem to pose a question—and that question remains unresolved”. Hopper’s “still vignettes seem eternally suspended in an instant between “before” and “after.” It is this same kind of moment that I want to capture, where the viewer is…

His iconic painting “The Scream” (Image 1) with its exaggerated colors and distorted shapes amplify anxiety and alienation and is the perfect example of Expressionist art.

narrating what he has been going through or what he plans to do next. Hopper does a great job of depicting the era through the look of the buildings and the peoples’ style of clothing. This art piece stands out to me because of the sense of loneliness it conveys. The lack of people in the painting and the overall darkness of the environment give the feeling that these few individuals are the only ones still awake in the city. Hopper further invokes isolation by having the man in the center…

Edward Hopper’s painting Night Hawk is set in the film noir days (1920s); it shows people sitting in a classic style diner after midnight I presume because of the empty streets and closed shops around the diner. It displays the night sky in contrast to the brightly light interior of the old “mom and pops” style diner. Noticeable forms in this work of art include the wooden counter, which matches the surrounding stools, metal coffee containers in the aft, green trim around the windows, which…

space within the piece. Further on in time, the method continued to see effective use throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, such as in the works by Neoclassicist painter Jaques-Louis David, Post-Impressionist Vincent van Gogh, and Realist Edward Hopper. As can be seen, throughout the history since the renaissance, linear perspective has had a lasting impact on art, allowing for a heightened sense of realism and space within pieces. Even today, in architecture as well as art (even…
