Edward Hopper, Night Shadows, 1921. Etching on paper.

In Night Shadows, Edward Hopper creates an atmosphere of suspense by placing the audience at a high vantage point, looking down on a lone figure at night. The print demonstrates the vigorous cross-hatching, deeply bitten lines, and heavy inking that are typical of Hopper’s etchings. The starkly white paper and shades of black ink represent an effect called chiaroscuro, which is Italian for “light–dark.” The subjects most identified with Hopper are empty scenes—an isolated house, a vacant room, an abandoned street. These eerie settings, amplified by manipulation of shadow, unusual vantage points, and simple composition, add to the mystery and psychological tension in his work. When Hopper does include figures in his art, they are often alone, weighted by solitude or dwarfed by their modern environment. —Weisman Museum
