Description
In the late 1930s, rural America was just beginning its recovery from the Great Depression. Edward Hopper perfectly captured this transitional time in American life in “Cape Cod Evening.” This bittersweet portrait features a rural setting on a farm. While the homeowners look somewhat downtrodden due to difficult times, their dog plays happily in the brown grass. This simple scene had a deeper meaning that was immediately understood at the time when the world was changing at such a frantic pace. It also showed that some picturesque destinations like Cape Cod weren’t as idyllic as they might seem on the surface. This masterpiece by Edward Hopper can be enjoyed in your own home when you purchase this Cape Cod painting for sale from overstockArt.
