Railroad Embankment - Edward Hopper Painting - Art Prints
100 Rs
Edward Hopper is widely acknowledged as the most important realist painter of twentieth-century America. Hopper derived his subject matter from two primary sources: one, the common features of American life (gas stations, motels, restaurants, theatres, railroads, and street scenes) and its inhabitants; and two, seascapes and rural landscapes.
No one captured the isolation of the individual within the modern city like Edward Hopper. His imagery of figures within urban settings go well beyond their role as modern cityscapes, exposing the underbelly of the human experience. His work demonstrates that realism is not merely a literal or photographic copying of what we see, but an interpretive rendering.

About Railroad Embankment Edward Hopper Painting
In Railroad Embankment and throughout his career, Edward Hopper painted aspects of America that few other artists addressed. His choice and his earnest and slightly romantic representation of seemingly mundane subject matter in works such as this set him apart from his contemporaries and allowed him to create a new and uniquely American iconography. In Railroad Embankment Hopper masterfully captures the drama he saw in the effects of light on the gently rolling landscape and modest architecture of Cape Cod, and elevates his subject to a commentary on mid-century American life.About the Art Prints
