view. Edward Hopper is able to capture suspense in his paintings and he does this through his use of lighting. He casts shadows and darkness in particular paintings in order to convey the mood he wishes to achieve. In his most famous painting‚ “Nighthawks”‚ Hopper uses shadows as a technique to create a strange feeling for the scene. The only light in the painting appears to be coming from the diner itself. It casts shadows on the outside which makes the viewer wonder what will happen next. Because

Today is the day I go on my first trail drive. My job is to work the night shifts. I guess you could say I’m a "nighthawk". My crew and I are headed to Central Kansas with about seventy head of cattle. We are traveling along the Chisolm Trail. My buddy ‚Bengi‚ said‚ "This is not gonna be a short‚easy drive." I sure hope my first drive turns out successfully. This morning was really easy for me. I woke up early and ate biscuits and gravy. Yum! It was so delicious. Our cook has really good taste

Formal Analysis of Art Amrita Martin April 25‚ 2010 Art 101 Melissa Ernstes Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez After viewing Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez on page 154 and 155 of A World of Art‚ I found a couple formal qualities in terms of organizing space. The first formal quality is representing a three dimensional space. In this painting Velazquez creates an illusion of deep space because the objects closer to the viewer seems to be larger then the objects beyond it. The second

incessant loom‚ for whispers‚ swift and promising‚ were luring me into the gloom. I balanced on the windowsill‚ undaunted by the creeping chill of night‚ for brightly overhead the watchful Moon hung soft and still. Then swiftly‚ as if by a prayer‚ a Nighthawk‚ slicing through the air‚ appeared to rest abreast my lonely figure‚ as I waited there. She peered at me through ebon eyes that sung of shadows‚ old and wise‚ and as she loosed her beak to speak I listened raptly‚ hypnotized. “O Raven-girl‚ your

The paintings I have chosen are: Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks 1942‚ Wassily Kodinsky’s Colour Studies: Squares and Concentrentic Circles 1913‚ and Pablo Picasso’s Self-Portrait 1907. Representational paintings show clear objects or events and have a clear subject matter in the painting. The subject matter is quite evident in Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks. The subject matter is the dominating‚ brightly lit diner. The diner is proportionately large. It is

This was established because the Axis were aware that the US could swing the war in the favour of the Allies (Yellen‚ 2016). The attack from the Japanese on Pearl Harbour eventually broke this pact which became irrelevant as Germany and Italy declared war on the US but would pursue their interests rather than support Japan in its conflict with the US (Yellen‚ 2016) (Britannica‚ 2023).

The painting The Eviction‚ 1939-40‚ by Eldzier Cortor‚ goes into how chaotic this sudden event is with an African-American woman in the center of it all. The use of color and shape lends to the sudden shift of her circumstances. He used simple shapes for the tall skyscrapers and smokestacks and filling them in with few colors and little detail. Shades of reds and browns are the dominating colors in this

Isolation in light and shadow The painting “New York Movie” is an incredible painting with significant use of light and shadow and the contrast of warm and cool colors. It’s not just a painting of a nicely dressed lady in a theater. It’s very intense and strong. Edward Hopper defines the isolation of urbanites by the design of this painting. The arrangements of figures and settings capture the moment of “not belonging”. By the composition‚ contrast of colors and the use of light and shadow‚
