You might not be familiar with these early works by Edward Hopper. 👀 While many recognize him for his famous melancholy oil paintings, which capture themes of loneliness and isolation, his early etchings offer a special insight into the start of his career. In these foundational prints, Hopper establishes the themes that would become central in his extensive body of work: individuals left in solitude with their thoughts, the stark contrast of light and shadow, and the graceful play of sunlight on buildings. ✍️✨ . . . . 🖼 Edward Hopper, “Evening Wind,” 1921, etching in black, 7 x 8 1/4 in., Rosenwald Collection 🖼 Edward Hopper, “Night in the Park,” 1921, etching in black, 6 x 8 in., Rosenwald Collection 🖼 Edward Hopper, “East Side Interior,” 1922, etching in black, 7 × 8 in., Rosenwald Collection 🖼 Edward Hopper, “The Cat Boat,” 1922, etching in black, 7 x 9 in., Rosenwald Collection #hopper
