Hotel Window - Edward Hopper Painting - American Realism Art - Art Prints
100 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 Hotel Window Edward Hopper Painting American Realism Art
Concern with the psychology and environment of travelers led Edward Hopper (1882-1967) to create some of his most compelling pictures, including views of train stations, highways, gas stations, restaurants, and hotels. The human need to seek shelter and sustenance while away from the security of one’s home offered dramatic settings where Hopper could convey a wealth of emotions. Hopper’s earlier versions of the hotel as theme include: Hotel Room (1931, El Museo de arte Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid), Hotel Lobby (1943, Indianapolis Museum of Art, figure 1), Hotel by a Railroad (1952, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., figure 2). Western Motel (1957, Yale University Art Gallery, figure 3), which followed Hotel Window (1955), presents a view out of the window of a Californian landscape and Hopper’s automobile.About the Art Prints
