Hills, South Truro, Edward Hopper (American, 1882 - 1967) 1930
2647.1931 Gallery - NE 204.4
A deeply reserved individual and intensely independent artist, Hopper sought to capture, in his words, the sad desolation of America. His worksincluding this Cape Cod landscape of a lone house next to a railroad track amid a backdrop of rolling hillstypically inject mundane scenes with a profound sense of solitude. The painter Charles Burchfield once described Hoppers art
as silent poetry.
