Description from the seller

Edward Hopper: “NIGHTHAWKS, 1942”. Poster of Edward Hopper, in excellent condition.

Edward Hopper was an American painter who is generally regarded as one of the most important realist artists of the 20th century.
His work captures the quiet poetry of modern life in the United States, with scenes of isolation, stillness and introspection that reveal the emotional undercurrents of daily existence.

Born in Nyack, New York, Hopper studied illustration and fine arts in New York City and later in Paris, where he absorbed the influence of Impressionism, but developed a much stricter and more psychological approach. In the twenties he had established his mature style: geometric clarity, sharp contrasts of light and shadow, and a restrained palette that conveyed a uniquely American atmosphere of loneliness and contemplation.

Hopper's paintings often depict urban interiors, gas stations, hotel rooms, diners and street corners, places where time seems to stand still. His figures, usually isolated and introspective, evoke a sense of emotional distance, even within familiar settings.

Through this quiet tension, Hopper created a powerful visual language that reflects both the loneliness and the dignity of modern existence.

Hopper's careful control of light, whether natural or artificial, serves not merely as illumination but as a narrative force that reveals inner states and emotional ambiguity. His art bridges realism and symbolism and offers subtle social commentary on urban alienation in the early 20th century.

In the art market, Edward Hopper's works are among the most sought after of all American painters. His major oil paintings are housed in leading institutions such as the Whitney Museum, MoMA and the Art Institute of Chicago, and appear rarely for sale. When that does happen, they fetch extraordinary prices: his 1934 painting Chop Suey sold in 2018 for 91.9 million dollars, establishing a record for the artist. Works from the same period and with similar subjects as Hotel Room are valued in the multi-million-dollar range, reflecting both their rarity and Hopper's lasting cultural impact.

Never framed and kept in a dark archival storage between protective acid-free paper.
The displayed photos are part of the description, the shown frame (size) is for illustration and is not included.

This artwork is carefully and securely packaged and shipped in protective acid-free paper.
No shipping to the Canary Islands.
