All auctions / Arts & Graphics / Edward Hopper (1882-1967) - “Hill and Houses
Edward Hopper (1882-1967): Title: “Hill and Houses, Cape Elizabeth, Maine, 1927”. Signed in the plate. Authorized color offset lithograph. Condition: the work is in excellent condition. Edward Hopper was an American painter who is generally regarded as one of the most important realist artists of the 20th century. His work captures the quiet poetry of modern life in the United States, with scenes of isolation, silence and introspection that reveal the emotional undertows of everyday existence. Born in Nyack, New York, Hopper studied illustration and fine art in New York City and later in Paris, where he absorbed the influence of Impressionism, but developed a much stricter and more psychological approach. In the twenties he had established his mature style: geometric clarity, sharp contrasts of light and shadow, and a restrained palette that conveys a uniquely American atmosphere of loneliness and contemplation. Hopper's paintings often depict urban interiors, gas stations, hotel rooms, diners and street corners—places where time seems to stand still. His figures, usually isolated and introspective, evoke a sense of emotional distance, even within familiar surroundings. Through this quiet tension, Hopper created a powerful visual language that reflects both the loneliness and the dignity of modern existence. Hopper's careful control of light, whether natural or artificial, serves not merely as illumination but as a narrative force that reveals inner states and emotional ambiguity. His art bridges realism and symbolism and offers subtle social commentary on urban alienation in the early 20th century. In the art market, Edward Hopper's works are among the most sought after of all American painters. His major oil paintings are held by leading institutions such as the Whitney Museum, MoMA and the Art Institute of Chicago, and rarely appear for sale. When they do, they command exceptional prices: his 1934 painting Chop Suey sold in 2018 for $91.9 million, setting a record for the artist. Works from the same period with similar subjects, such as Hotel Room, are valued in the multi‑million‑dollar range, reflecting both their rarity and Hopper's enduring cultural impact. Edward Hopper created in 1927 'Hill and Houses, Cape Elizabeth, Maine', a painting of two houses on a hill that belonged to the Cape Elizabeth coast guards. Hopper was fascinated by the isolated life of the two men and produced a series of paintings of their houses. Today Hopper's influence reaches far beyond painting, inspiring filmmakers, photographers and contemporary artists.
