Galerie Mont Eleven AM – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Edward Hopper’s Eleven AM depicts a nude woman sitting next to an open window. The light streaming in through the window bathes the room in a warm hue, highlighting the solitude of the subject. The woman, facing outwards, seems lost in thought, perhaps contemplative or waiting for someone or something.

Hopper is famous for his realistic depictions of the isolation and melancholy of modern life, and for his genre scenes. Here, the domestic interior and use of natural light might suggest an underlying narrative, leaving the viewer to speculate about the woman’s personal history and emotional state. The muted colours of the room contrast with the brightness outside, reinforcing the feeling of a suspended moment, between intimacy and exposure.
