Edward Hopper

(Rocks and Waves)
1916–1919

An expressive oil painting depicting a rugged mountain landscape with snow-capped peaks and deep valleys. The brushwork is thick and impasto, with a dynamic range of colors from dark earth tones to bright whites and blues, suggesting a sense of movement and the raw beauty of nature.
