Edward Hopper (1882-1967) (after) - "First Row Orchestra, 1951"

- Edward Hopper (after), authorized offset lithograph on textured matte paper (300gsm approx.). - Signed in the plate. - Stamp on verso. - Condition: excellent. Never framed, never exposed. - Size: 42,5 x 55 cm. - Edward Hopper (1882–1967) is considered one of the defining figures of 20th-century American art. Best known for his realist depictions of modern life, Hopper combined clarity of form with psychological depth, portraying both urban and rural subjects infused with silence, isolation, and stillness. His art often explores themes of solitude, contemplation, and the passage of time, creating images that feel at once ordinary and deeply symbolic. His mastery of light and composition has made his paintings enduring icons of American realism. Hopper’s works command strong demand in the international art market. Paintings such as Chop Suey and Hotel Window have achieved prices in the tens of millions of dollars, with record sales exceeding $90 million. Institutions and private collectors prize his ability to transform everyday moments into timeless, cinematic visions. First Row Orchestra (1951) captures an intimate theater scene. The composition shows elegantly dressed figures seated in the front row, waiting for a performance behind a massive blue curtain edged with green. While the setting suggests anticipation and social gathering, Hopper emphasizes quiet introspection the figures seem detached, absorbed in their own thoughts rather than in shared excitement. The strong contrast between the monumental curtain and the small cluster of isolated spectators heightens the sense of emptiness and tension. The work demonstrates Hopper’s fascination with public spaces where individuals remain psychologically alone, and it exemplifies his subtle balance between realism and emotional resonance.
