Galerie Mont House by the Railroad – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Literally trapped between the old and the new era, this majestic and imposing House embodies a pre-industrial building that Edward Hopper would long claim, like all his paintings, to be factual and devoid of emotion, whereas the contemplation of this painting demonstrates all the depth that the work of art can hide.

Blue as the sky, this one tries to blend its form into the background, further accentuating the duality between nature and industry, conservatism and progressivism. The copper-coloured railway underlines this fracture of a mansion that rises into the sky while cementing itself into modernism. Disturbing and fascinating, it will never cease to inspire the Masters of Cinema until it becomes an emblem of Hopper.
