Edward Hopper was an American realist painter known for his iconic depictions of American life in the early to mid-20th century. Born in 1882 in Nyack, New York, Hopper studied at the New York School of Art and later became a commercial illustrator before focusing on his fine art career. His works often feature lonely figures in urban settings, capturing a sense of isolation and melancholy. Hopper's use of light and shadow, along with his meticulous attention to detail, have made him one of the most celebrated artists of his time. He passed away in 1967, leaving behind a legacy of influential and profound paintings that continue to captivate audiences around the world.
