Edward Hopper:
Edward Hopper (1882–1967) was a prominent American painter and graphic artist whose realistic depictions of urban and rural life in the United States made him an important representative of 20th-century Realism. His works, known for their atmosphere of solitude and isolation, are deeply rooted in American culture and influenced numerous artists of his time and afterwards.

Hopper's art shows clear influences from European painters such as Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. From Manet, he adopted an interest in ordinary scenes, and from Degas, the use of unusual perspectives and a focus on urban life. The influence of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is also evident in Hopper's work, particularly in his portrayal of figures in interior spaces.

In the United States, Hopper was strongly influenced by the Ashcan School, a group of artists like Robert Henri and John Sloan who depicted the everyday life of urban Americans. This movement, also including artists like George Bellows and Edward Weston, laid the groundwork for Hopper's later works, which often depict people in anonymous, urban environments.

Hopper's depictions of architecture and urban scenes have parallels with the work of Charles Sheeler, a founder of Precisionism, who emphasized the clear, geometric rendering of buildings and industrial landscapes. There is also kinship with the works of Reginald Marsh, who likewise captured America's urban landscape and everyday life, albeit with a stronger focus on the city’s dynamism and movement.

The emotional isolation and melancholy that permeate Hopper's works are also found in the works of Andrew Wyeth, another American Realist who often painted lonely rural scenes. Hopper's interest in light and shadow, especially in his interiors, shows connections to the works of Vilhelm Hammershøi, a Danish painter known for his quiet, introspective interiors.

The visual language and narrative element in Hopper's art, which often imply a story, are reminiscent of Edward Gorey, an illustrator and author known for his melancholic and often eerie scenes. The cinematic quality of Hopper's paintings has inspired filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock, particularly in the use of light and composition to create a specific mood.

Later, Hopper also influenced contemporary artists such as David Hockney and Gerhard Richter, who both further developed aspects of realistic depiction and handling of light and space in their work. Hockney, especially in his depictions of California, and Richter in his photorealist paintings, have absorbed elements of Hopper's analytical view of the world and placed them into new contextual frames.

Edward Hopper's works remain a central inspiration in art history, as they capture the tension and unease of modern existence in a unique way. His ability to impart deep emotional and psychological layers to everyday scenes makes him a timeless and relevant artist.
