Cape Cod Evening Framed Art

Cape Cod Evening is a remarkable oil painting with exceptional use of color, detail and brush strokes. The original was created in 1939. Hopper's own account of this image follows: "It is no exact transcription of a place, but pieced together from sketches and mental impressions of things in the vicinity.

The grove of locust trees was done from sketches nearby. The doorway of the house comes from Orleans about twenty miles from here. The figures were done almost entirely without models, and the dry, blowing grass can be seen from my studio window in the late summer or autumn. In the woman I attempted to get the broad, strong-jawed face and blond hair of a Finnish type of which there are many on the Cape. The man is a dark-haired Yankee. The dog is listening to something, probably a whippoorwill or some evening sound." Enjoy this eclectic work of art with friends and family in your own home. Hopper received many honors in his lifetime for his exceptional use of color, detail, and subject matter.
