Galerie Mont Macomb’s Dam Bridge – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Macomb’s Dam Bridge, a 1935 painting by Edward Hopper, depicts the eponymous bridge over the Harlem River in New York. The painting features the suspension bridge, with its towering cables and pylons, and the adjacent buildings. A cloudy sky unfolds in the background, adding an atmospheric dimension to the composition. The colour palette consists mainly of grey and brown tones, reflecting the industrial nature of the urban landscape.

The geometric shapes and architectural lines of the bridge and buildings give the work a strong visual structure. The shadows and minute details add a touch of realism to the scene. Hopper accurately captures the essence of urban engineering and city life, highlighting both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the bridge. The work offers insight into the interplay between architecture, industry and the natural environment in the context of the modern city.
