Cape Cod Evening - Hopper Edward

Cape Code Evening is an oil on canvas painted in 1939 by the American painter Edward Hopper and kept in Washington at the National Gallery of Art. A masterpiece of American art between the two world wars, the painting shows a dog in the middle immersed in a field with colors summer in which the yellow predominates, on the right a country house made of white wood, two figures, and on the bottom on the left a dense and gloomy acacia wood. There is no dialogue between the two figures, the woman's gaze is lost in her own thoughts as well as that of the man sitting in the doorway of the house despite the gesture of the arm outstretched to recall the attentions of the dog. The dog with the ears outstretched and the look turned to the opposite of his position denotes the attention to a particular precluded by the observer's observation. Colorfully Cape Cod Evening is well balanced, the warm colors in the lawn balance the cold colors of the upper part of the painting. The print on canvas loses nothing of the chromatic brilliance of the original painting and also thanks to the brushstroke effect paint, the print on canvas of Edward Hopper's Cape Code Evening will have a final look similar to a painting painted in oil on canvas, with brush strokes relief visible to both eye and touch. This particular paint is also applicable to the poster glued on mdf wood panel.
