Edward Hopper

(Rocks and Swirling Water)
1916–1919

An impressionist painting depicting a rugged coastline with dark, jagged rocks against a backdrop of turbulent sea waves in shades of blue, white, and green. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, conveying a sense of movement in the water and texture in the rocks.
