Nighthawks
''Nighthawks'' is a 1942 oil on canvas painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people in a downtown diner late at night.
It is Hopper's most famous work〔Ian Chilvers and Harold Osborne (Eds.), ''The Oxford Dictionary of Art'' Oxford University Press, 1997 (second edition), p. 273, ISBN 0-19-860084-4 ''"The central theme of his work is the loneliness of city life, generally expressed through one or two figures in a spare setting - his best-known work, Nighthawks, has an unusually large 'cast' with four."''〕 and is one of the most recognizable paintings in American art.〔(Hopper's Nighthawks ), Smarthistory video, accessed April 29, 2013.〕 Within months of its completion, it was sold to the Art Institute of Chicago for $3,000〔The sale was recorded by Josephine Hopper as follows, in volume II, p. 95 of her and Edward's journal of his art: "May 13, '42: Chicago Art Institute - 3,000 + return of Compartment C in exchange as part payment. 1,000 - 1/3 = 2,000." See Deborah Lyons, ''Edward Hopper: A Journal of His Work.'' New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 1997, p. 63.〕 and has remained there ever since.
