Edward Hopper
Edward
Hopper’s work successfully captures the emotion and feeling of real people
living normal city life. Though he did
do landscapes, his figure paintings were by far his most popular. I believe his figure paintings were
successful because he found a way to depict loneliness in large urban
areas. The scale and placement of his
figures gives them depth and expression.
His most successful works were bought or commissioned from museums, but
his audience was always the American middle-class. Hopper tried to depict normal middle-class
Americans as they really appeared.
