Credited with the paternity of American Realism, Edward Hopper’s works on this cube and story card underline the breadth of his work, interiors, exteriors, daylight, after dark and all are thoughtfully encountered and treated by his evocative version of realistic painting. The cube includes: One of his most picturesque and reproduced works of the oldest lighthouse in Maine, the Portland Head light as well as a rare Hopper landscape. Drug Store, whose theme, similar to the diner scene Night Hawks transmits urban American night, and Room in Brooklyn with its contrasting messages of the boredom and drabness of urban life and the warmth of the sun and flowers in an apartment. Finally, it includes as a series of paintings of clapboard buildings in Gloucester Massachusetts in the 1920’s with their clear structures, strong shadows and emphatic geometries, that he transmits with specific emotions. A wonderful survey gift of Edward Hopper, one of America’s best loved artists and sons.
