Hills, South Truro - Edward Hopper
In Hills, South Truro, Edward Hopper depicts the serenity of an American landscape. The composition focuses on the immensity of the rolling hills, bathed in the light of a setting sun that casts its golden hues on the vegetation and mounds of earth. A solitary house, with its sloping roof and sturdy chimney, sits firmly in the foreground, forming a contrast with the peaceful horizontality of the distant horizon.
Reflecting the New Realist movement, Hopper deploys a palette of deep greens, browns and ochres that make the topography tangible, almost palpable. The landscape, far from being merely a picturesque backdrop, is the real protagonist of this work. Hopper, a master of light and colour, captures here a snapshot of nature, transcending the simple genre of landscape to invite us into a silent, introspective contemplation.
