EDWARD HOPPER


Sun in an Empty Room was painted by Edward Hopper in 1963. I chose this image because it is a perfect expression of isolation and solitude. Although no actual beings are in the room, the painting can still evoke those emotions. It does so by the mere act of being empty. There is no furniture, no paintings in the wall, no people inside it. The room's only host is the sunlight coming through the window and the shadows that it casts. The window itself is also plain and bare.
