This is "Route 6 Eastham" by Edward Hopper. He is one of my favorite American painters. Born in the 1890's, and living until the 1960's, Hopper was a leader in the American realist school. His art heavily influenced the Pop Art movement of the 1960's - Present.
Hopper painted things that he saw everyday. He painted them in a way to draw interest to them. He saw ordinary things as extrordinary. He painted everything in sort of a "white-washed" fashion. Everything is sterile and clean.
This is the Edward Hopper painting that all of you would know. This is "Nighthawks."
