Compartment C, Car 293 (1938). Oil on canvas. Hopper, Edward, 1882–1967, American painter and engraver.Shows the padded-cell comfort of a train, the woman inside motionless but moving forward, surrounded by a sea of variegated greens, from plush to hard and shiny.In Hopper’s paintings there is a frequent atmosphere of loneliness, an almost menacing starkness, and a clear sense of time of day or night. His work in oil and watercolor is slowly and carefully painted, with light and shade used for pattern rather than for modeling. -- source link
