Description: Lot details Lighthouse. Tempera and oil painting. Size of the present painting is 28.7 x 20.5 centimeters. Signature Edward Hopper can be found in the lower margin of the painting. This artwork is also marked on reverse by a previous collection mark (refrence number in pencil and stamp). The work is in very good condition for its age, colors create the desired contrast, are vivid and are well preserved, but we also notice minor yellowing of the paper. Many of the houses depicted by Hopper, animated through artistic means, set apart from their environs, lit with a blanching light which dramatically highlights and casts into shadow, viewed from evocative angles, have provided inspiration to the film making industry. tThe artist also made airy canvases depicting the coasts of Cape Cod and other New England villages. "Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world," he once mused. With this work comes a Certificate of authenticity & registration of the painting at Fine Arts Registry and a transfer of ownership. The artwork is described in the documentation and offered as unique artwork, in manner of the artist, sold as-is. The artwork was acquired in estate liquidation sale in France.

About Edward Hopper ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Edward Hopper was a seminal American artist famous for his oil paintings and watercolors of both rural and city scenes. He often used strongly contrasting light and dark tones to create cinematic moods. Hopper's imagery is consistently restrained, presenting part of a story or one suggestive aspect. By leaving many clues but no specific answers, he forces the viewer to complete the narrative. This element of his art would have major repercussions for the development of postmodernism wherein the viewer has a major role in the understanding of the artwork.
