Edward Hopper, (1882-1967), painted haunting scenes of commonplace American urban life, particularly subjects in and around New York City. His realistic visions portray an innate and disturbing sense of loneliness and desolation. His most famous piece - Nighthawks (Art Institute of Chicago, 1942), is one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. It aptly illustrates his characteristic use of light to isolate his subjects and create a sense of solitude. Regarding this piece, Hopper tells us, "I didn't see it as particularly lonely... Unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city".

Show of 1913 but afterward devoted most of his time to advertising art and illustrative etchings until 1924. He then began to experiment with watercolors and oils and continued to develop his own independent style. Even though his mature style was fully fashioned by the mid 1920's, his later paintings demonstrated even more subtle spatial relationships and greater mastery of light. His work exerted a strong influence on the Pop art and New Realist painters of the 1960s and 1970s.
