Description from the seller

Edward Hopper: “NIGHTHAWKS, 1942”.

Authorized color offset.
Condition: the work is in excellent condition.
Format: 30 x 40 cm.

Edward Hopper was an American painter who is generally regarded as one of the leading realist artists of the 20th century. His work captures the quiet poetry of modern life in the United States, with scenes of isolation, quiet, 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 unique American atmosphere of loneliness and contemplation.

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

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

Hopper's meticulous 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 commentaries 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 rarely appear for sale. When they do, they command extraordinary prices: his 1934 painting Chop Suey sold in 2018 for $91.9 million, setting a record for the artist. Works from the same period with similar subjects as Hotel Room are valued in the multi‑million‑dollar range, reflecting both their rarity and Hopper's enduring cultural impact.

Never framed and stored in a dark archival storage between protective acid-free paper.
