Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was an American realist painter known for his depictions of modern American life, characterized by themes of solitude, introspection, and isolation. Born in Nyack, New York, Hopper studied at the New York School of Art and later in Paris. His works often feature urban and rural scenes with a distinctive, melancholic atmosphere.

Hopper's art is celebrated for its use of light and shadow to create mood and narrative. His paintings often depict quiet moments in everyday settings such as diners, gas stations, and theaters. Hopper's ability to capture the stillness and introspective nature of his subjects has made his work iconic. Notable works include 'Nighthawks,' 'Automat,' and 'Chop Suey.'

Hopper's paintings are highly sought after and fetch significant prices at auctions. His works are considered masterpieces of American art, with some of his paintings selling for tens of millions of dollars. For example, 'Chop Suey' sold for $91.9 million in 2018, underscoring his enduring market value and the high demand for his art.

One of his notable works is 'The Bootleggers,' created in 1925. This piece captures a quiet, almost eerie scene by the water, with two men in a boat near a large house. The composition showcases Hopper's signature use of light and shadow, with the house's windows glowing warmly against the cool, dusky landscape. The men in the boat, along with the house's solitary figure, convey a sense of mystery and narrative ambiguity, typical of Hopper's ability to evoke stories and emotions through his detailed and evocative scenes. 'The Bootleggers' exemplifies Hopper's mastery in portraying mood and atmosphere, making it a significant piece in his body of work.
