People in the Sun 1960

Edward Hopper's "People in the Sun" (1960) is a classic example of his signature style, characterized by its stark realism and sense of isolation. The painting depicts five figures, seated in director's chairs on a porch overlooking a vast field and distant mountains. The figures are all dressed in contemporary clothing and seem to be lost in thought, their gazes directed elsewhere. The painting's muted colors, sharp lines, and overall sense of stillness contribute to its mood of contemplation and loneliness, typical of Hopper's works.
