Title: NighthawksArtist: Edward Hopper
Country: USA
My First Impressions: At first looking at it I see that this is a night scene where there is a man and a woman possibly going out in a bar and the bar it seems is almost closing. It seems late. I feel like I have seen this before but can not place it.
What I learned: I have learned that this is a rather famous painting and that Edward Hopper is a wonderful Artist.
Unity: The Unity in this comes from the lack of balance toward the side with the bar. The contrast of the bright bar and the dark outside. There are leading lines starting from the white to the black line down the middle. From the middle it goes to the grouped canisters and from there to the bar man then to the couple the man is staring at. The man on the side seems almost an after thought because he has no unity to the others. The others how ever feel very unified because they almost look like they are having a conversation.
