Hopper to Mid-Century: Highlights from the Permanent Collection: Edward Hopper Watercolors

Sept 22–Nov 22, 2003

A watercolor painting depicting a serene rural landscape with a road leading through it. On the right, there are several houses with slanted roofs, and a series of telephone poles line the road. The foreground shows the road curving gently to the left, while the background reveals rolling hills and a clear sky with a few wispy clouds. The painting is rich in blues, greens, and earth tones, conveying a bright, sunny day.
