Nighthawks - Edward Hopper
280+ avis vérifiés
In this Hopper painting, the night birds, not perched but sheltered in The Phillies, a typical American restaurant for night owls, embody a place of silence and oblivion where time seems to stand still.
Subtly inspired by Ernest Hemingway's novella The Killers, for the atmosphere, and Van Gogh's Night Café, for the colour scheme. The melancholy of Opera Seria, the loneliness of human relationships and the cinematographic projections, far removed from the painting of the Old Continent, are undeniably evident in this ordinary scene.
Between the mysterious man in the foreground, the secret lovers in the background and the waiter devoted to his chores, only one thing unites them: the heavy, weighty silence of those who gather to be alone together rather than sink into the infamous "personal solitude". Quietude and anxiety coexist in the nightly wanderings.
