You know it. You might even love it. But why is Nighthawks by Edward Hopper so cool?

• Isolated details
• Smoking as distraction in\xa0Nighthawks
• Light patches create composition
• Lonely, anonymous birds
  
  

Edward Hopper\u2019s masterpiece\xa0Nighthawks\xa0conjures big city themes. From loneliness to anonymity, it\u2019s an existential homage to New York City in 1942. Details shift from surreal to familiar. But they all point to the same conclusion. Though its title refers to predatory birds, this painting\u2019s about the human condition.
