Early Sunday Morning is one of Edward Hopper’s most iconic paintings. The painting portrays the small businesses and shops of Seventh Avenue in New York City shortly after sunrise. It shows a blue sky over a long, red building. A barber pole sits in front of one of the doorways and there's not a human soul in sight.
The long, early morning shadows and the succession of verticals and horizontals, create the charged, almost theatrical, atmosphere of an unpopulated street at the beginning of the day. I'm sure a crowd will appear soon, but for now all is quiet and peaceful.
All the best, Gerard
