Adobe Houses 1925

"Adobe Houses" is a 1925 watercolor painting by American realist Edward Hopper. This artwork depicts a scene of adobe houses in a desert landscape, which is likely inspired by Hopper's travels to the American Southwest. The painting showcases Hopper's characteristic use of light and shadow, creating a sense of solitude and quiet contemplation. The composition is balanced, with the houses in the foreground and the distant hills providing a sense of scale and depth. The muted colors create a sense of stillness and tranquility, evoking the feeling of a hot, dry day in the desert.
