Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) has always been one of my favorite artists. A realist painter, he used everyday and common themes to create soft and simple paintings. He did not belong to any particular school, and was adept at watercolor and etchings as well as his most famous oil paintings.
Very likely his most famous painting is Nighthawks, painted in 1942, but his overall portfolio has many famous images. He painted everything from portraits to landscapes to architecture, and his subjects often seemed removed if not completely unhappy.
