Galerie Mont Early Sunday morning – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

In this Hopper painting, Sunday, a day attributed to respite, usually a source of reunion and entertainment, is here a complete absence of interaction. Whether peaceful or deserted, the architecture transposes a complex psychic scheme where depression, melancholy, solitude and complacency lead the way.

The chromatic palette remains very elementary, the composition of the rectilinear environment leaves no room for any source of movement. The unruffled landscape nevertheless harbours existence, through the presence of these businesses and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.
