Nighthawks

Urban Isolation

By Revista XCI by Rikki La Rouge Published 2 months ago 1 min read

Nighthawks By Edward Hopper in 1942 is really one of my favorite paintings of all time. My interpretation of this iconic painting is accurate. Another interpretation of mine is that these people are lost souls and Nighthawks, an apparently unpretentious restaurant, is actually purgatory. This painting gives me chills because it’s about isolation in an urban area or rural area, you can be isolated anywhere. This artistic triumph has relevance in today’s world due to our mobile phones and social networks. Nighthawks is a fine art work and there is no doubt about it and Edward Hopper created a masterpiece.
