Coast Guard Cove - Canvas Prints
599 Rs
Edward Hopper is widely acknowledged as the most important realist painter of twentieth-century America. Hopper derived his subject matter from two primary sources: one, the common features of American life (gas stations, motels, restaurants, theatres, railroads, and street scenes) and its inhabitants; and two, seascapes and rural landscapes.
No one captured the isolation of the individual within the modern city like Edward Hopper. His imagery of figures within urban settings go well beyond their role as modern cityscapes, exposing the underbelly of the human experience. His work demonstrates that realism is not merely a literal or photographic copying of what we see, but an interpretive rendering.

About Coast Guard Cove
Coast Guard Cove was executed in 1929 during the artist’s second visit to Cape Elizabeth. Hopper was keenly interested in observing the effects of light on the distinctive landscape and architectural elements he found there, and the summer sunlight at Cape Elizabeth was particularly intense. The majority of the works he completed during this summer were executed in watercolor, a medium he first began to use in 1923 and quickly adapted to. As Gail Levin writes, “Hopper used watercolor with a sense of confidence, improvising as he went along. He would apply the pigments with only a faint pencil sketch outlining the structures. What interested him was not the creation of textures or the manipulation of the medium, but the transcription of light. Light was the language through which Hopper expressed the forms and views before him. His watercolors were simply recordings of his observations, painted almost entirely out-of-doors, directly before his subject matter” About the Canvas Prints
