- Edward Hopper (1882–1967) was an American realist painter best known for his evocative depictions of solitude and introspection in modern life. His works capture quiet, contemplative moments in urban and rural settings, often using light and shadow to express psychological depth. Hopper’s precise composition, restrained color palette, and cinematic sense of atmosphere have made him one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century.

Hopper studied illustration and fine arts in New York and was deeply inspired by French Impressionism during his stays in Paris. However, he developed a uniquely American style that reflected isolation within contemporary society a theme that resonates strongly even today.

His paintings are highly sought after on the art market. Major works such as Chop Suey (1929) and Nighthawks (1942) have reached exceptional prices, with Chop Suey selling for nearly $92 million in 2018, placing Hopper among the top-valued American artists.

One of his most celebrated late works, Morgensonne (Morning Sun) (1952), portrays a woman sitting on a bed bathed in warm morning light, gazing pensively out a window at the distant cityscape. The composition balances intimacy and melancholy, illustrating Hopper’s mastery of psychological realism. The stark geometry of the room contrasts with the softness of the figure and the sunlight, creating a powerful meditation on solitude and the passage of time. Morning Sun exemplifies Hopper’s ability to evoke deep emotion through stillness and simplicity, making it one of his most iconic and enduring paintings.
