Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was a prominent American realist painter and printmaker. While most popularly known for his oil paintings, he was equally proficient as a watercolorist and printmaker in etching. In both his urban and rural scenes, his spare and finely calculated renderings reflected his personal vision of modern American life.[1]
Of course the best thing about Eward Hopper to me is that wonderful use of dark, light and shadow. His work is so dream like but at the same time so real.
I haven't but in his most famous, Nighthawks, because I think everyone knows it, but if not let me know and I will be happy to post it.
