Galerie Mont The Lee Shore – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Edward Hopper’s The Lee Shore depicts a peaceful maritime scene with a sailboat sailing along a coast. The dominant colours are soft, natural tones, such as the light blue of the water and sky, the bright white of the sail and the green tones of the grass. The composition is balanced and harmonious, highlighting the beauty of the coastal landscape.

In the foreground, the calm water and the reflections of the sky and the sail create a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The absence of visible figures reinforces the sense of solitude often associated with Hopper’s work. The Lee Shore thus illustrates the artist’s ability to capture moments of tranquility and solitude in seemingly ordinary scenes, while exploring the relationship between man and nature.
