Cape Cod in October - Life Size Posters
999 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 Cape Cod in October
October on Cape Cod presents a suspended narrative, which simultaneously entices and rebuffs the viewer, creating the tension and anticipation that are characteristic of Hopper's best works. Here, Hopper creates a shallow, stage-like pictorial space, using the impenetrable wall of trees to vexingly focus attention on the foreground. The scene operates much like a film still, a single vision isolated from an overarching narrative, creating a yearning in the viewer. This is underscored by the subject itself, which is common enough to feel familiar, and yet rendered in such an anonymous fashion so as to make it feel foreign, creating a continuously engaging dichotomy as the viewer tries to reconcile him or herself with the emotions that the scene evokes.About the Life Size Posters
