Nighthawks

By Edward Hopper


"Nighthawks" is one of the most famous paintings to come from an American artist, and its portrayal of a modernist urban setting has been replicated and parodied in numerous derivative works. With no visible entrance and with each participant seemingly staring off in their own direction, the painting evokes a sense of urban loneliness.

Yet, when first painted (and sold for only $3,000 to the Art Institute of Chicago), Hopper stated that he didn't believe it to be particularly lonely, later agreeing that he probably was unconsciously "painting the loneliness of a large city."
