Edward Hopper - People in the Sun / 1963

Reprint People in the Sun/ 1963 by Edward Hopper.

People in the Sun are hotel guests who have been tempted out onto the patio to bask in the sun. They seem to take no notice of the scenery around them. Apparently they do not feel warm, for none of them has taken off a jacket or sweater. Perhaps they are even freezing. Wanting to give themselves over to the sun, they have inadvertantly put themselves at its mercy. And the sun reveals all - their inadequacy, the shallowness of their emotional and mental lives. Evidently they had hoped to impress each other with their fashionable attire, but now no one seems to notice or care. Only one man emphasizes his difference from the rest. He has seated himself a little behind, as if in the lee of the row of others, to concentrate on his book. But the cold sunlight holds him in its grip as well.

Hopper is one of the foremost representatives of American realism, and there is nothing more American than his work, which depicts contemporary rural or urban scenes, solitary characters, even when surrounded by people, figures in silence that perfectly portray this increasingly dehumanised West.

Having started out in illustration by Correspondence, around 1920 he was able to devote himself exclusively to painting, very realistic, far removed from the avant-garde, but paradoxically modern, anchored in his own time but mysteriously timeless.
