Summertime 1943

"Summertime" (1943) by Edward Hopper is a prime example of his signature style of American realism. The painting depicts a lone woman standing on the stoop of a city building, bathed in the stark light of a summer day. The woman's solitary pose and the architectural details of the building evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and the subtle melancholic mood that characterizes many of Hopper's works. This piece, located in the Delaware Art Museum, is a captivating study of urban life and human isolation, captivating audiences with its striking use of light and shadow.
