Nighthawks
Edward Hopper1942Oil on canvas
Hopper's most famous work depicts patrons at a downtown diner late at night. The harsh fluorescent light spilling into the dark street became the defining image of American urban loneliness.
Color Mood
Eerily lit and isolating. The cool fluorescent green against the deep blue-black street captures the alienation of modern city life perfectly.
