Edward Hopper

(Rocky Shore and Sea, Monhegan)
1916–1919

A vibrant oil painting depicting a dynamic seascape with waves crashing against rocky cliffs. The palette consists of deep blues for the ocean, contrasting with warm earthy tones of orange and brown for the cliffs. The brushwork is expressive, adding a sense of movement to the water and texture to the rocks.
