Galerie Mont Chop Suey – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Chop Suey, a realistic painting by Edward Hopper, depicts a lively café scene in the 1920s. Two women sit at a table near a window, engaged in conversation. One is wearing a cloche hat, while the other has short hair, reflecting the fashion of the time. Sunlight streams in through the window, creating a play of light and shadow on faces, clothes and objects.

The colour palette, dominated by warm tones of orange and yellow, contrasts with the cooler tones of Hopper’s other works. Architectural elements, such as mouldings and windows, add depth to the composition. The arrangement of tables, chairs and accessories gives the impression of a friendly and welcoming space. The painting captures a moment of everyday life, while hinting at the subtleties of human relationships and the social atmosphere of the period.
