American Village 1912

"American Village" (1912) by Edward Hopper, is an oil painting that depicts a street scene from an elevated viewpoint. The painting captures the quiet solitude of a small town, with a few figures scattered across a snow-covered street. Hopper's signature style of muted colors and stark lines is evident, emphasizing the architectural elements and the sense of isolation. The scene is reminiscent of Hopper's other urban landscapes, with its focus on the everyday experiences of modern life. The painting is currently housed at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
