Nighthawks by Edward Hopper

One of the most recognizable pieces in American art, Nighthawks is a work that reflects a now-lost America that consisted of countertop dining and finely suited men in fedoras. The strangers that have gathered at the counter in a lonely corner of New York City have long inspired filmmakers, authors, and other artists to imagine how each night hawk happened into this moment in time.

About the Artist: Edward Hopper

"Edward Hopper used light to isolate figures and objects, as in Early Sunday Morning (1930) and Nighthawks (1942). His mature style was already formed in the 1920s; his later development showed constant refinement and an even greater mastery of light."
