Edward Hopper

(Rocky Shore)
1916–1919

Impressionist-style painting depicting a rugged coastline with a prominent rocky outcrop against a backdrop of a calm blue sea and a light blue sky with wispy clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, conveying the texture of the rocks and the movement of the waves crashing against the shore.
