Description
Created during Hopper’s most productive and acclaimed period, “House at Dusk” addresses the same theme of aloneness found in many of his non-cityscape works. This Edward Hopper painting from 1935 depicts the top story of a country estate house just as the setting sun dips below the nearby trees. A man stands at one of the windows, greeting the coming night as he reflects on his state. But all is not completely in the shadows, as a single street light provides an eerie glow staving off the darkness. As Hopper’s career progressed, the American realist adopted a style that aimed for consistency across all works. But in landscape oil paintings such as this one, he continued to allow for expansiveness and greater form. His sense of realism for both pictorial objects and life forms remained to create an eeriness that represented the emotions one feels as the sun goes down. This “House at Dusk” reproduction will be a contemplative addition to your home with its detailed brush strokes and raw emotional quality.
