Edward Hopper:
Edward Hopper (1882–1967) was a significant 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 loneliness and isolation, are deeply rooted in American culture and influenced numerous artists of his time and beyond.

Hopper's art shows clear influences from European painters such as Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. From Manet he borrowed the interest in everyday scenes, and from Degas the use of unusual viewpoints and the focus on urban life. The influence of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is also felt in Hopper's work, particularly in his portrayal of figures in interiors.

In the USA Hopper was strongly influenced by the Ashcan School, a group of artists such as Robert Henri and John Sloan, who depicted the everyday life of American city dwellers. This movement, which also included artists like George Bellows and Edward Weston, laid the groundwork for Hopper's later works, which often show people in anonymous urban settings.

Hopper's portrayals of architecture and urban scenes echo the work of Charles Sheeler, a co-founder of Precisionism, who emphasized clear, geometric depictions 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, though with a stronger emphasis 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 interior scenes, shows connections to Vilhelm Hammershøi, a Danish painter known for his quiet, introspective interiors.

The visual language and narrative element in Hopper's art, which often suggest a story, also recall the works of Edward Gorey, an illustrator and author known for his melancholic and often uncanny scenes. Hopper's cinematic quality 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 developed aspects of realistic depiction and handling of light and space in their work. Hockney, especially in his representations of California, and Richter in his photorealistic paintings, have taken elements of Hopper's analytical view of the world and placed them in 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 imbue ordinary scenes with deep emotional and psychological layers makes him a timeless and relevant artist.
