Description
Edward Hopper's 1929 painting "Chop Suey" shows a young woman sitting in a Chinese café. The painting is part of the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and sold for more than $28 million in 2018.
"Chop Suey" shows Hopper's realistic style and his ability to capture emotional moods through color and light. The young woman appears lonely and is lost in thought as she looks at her tea. See more
The painting also shows the spatial elements of the café, such as the wall decorations and the window, which add to the feeling of loneliness and isolation.
Hopper has always been interested in the landscape of America and has captured the beauty and loneliness of the American landscape in many of his paintings. "Chop Suey" is another example of his talent for expressing moods and emotions through his art. It is a must-have for any Hopper fan and an important addition to any art collection.
About Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper is one of the major figures of the American realist movement, with paintings such as House by the Railroad (1925) and Nighthawks (1942).
Born in 1882 in New York State, Edward Hopper entered the prestigious New York School of Art after his secondary education. He moved to New York in 1908 where he was hired as an illustrator for advertising campaigns. He soon tired of the job and exhibited paintings in his spare time. See more
Around 1915, he painted scenes of American life and in 1920, he presented his first exhibition at the Whitney Studio Club, which was a great success. In 1924 he married Josephine Verstille Nivison.
His particular style, made of simple forms and rather dark colours, plays on the contrasts between light and shadow. Hopper managed to diversify his realistic approach, with staged landscapes, sometimes urban and sometimes rural. The characters he paints often inspire an impression of solitude and exclusion. Most of his oil paintings reflect a country in the throes of economic and social change. In 1945, Edward Hopper was admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He received numerous awards and honours, including the title of Doctor of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1955.
