Sunday 1926

"Sunday" (1926) by Edward Hopper is a quintessential example of American Realism. The painting depicts a lone figure seated outside a closed storefront on a quiet Sunday, evoking a sense of isolation and introspection. Hopper's signature use of light and shadow creates a stark, almost cinematic quality, emphasizing the emptiness of the scene and the solitary nature of the figure. The painting captures the stillness and emptiness of urban life, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of modern existence.
